Our collection of light, fluffy cakes and cupcakes will impress the whole family and guests alike. One bite and you'll never believe they're gluten-free.   Cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg give this gluten-free cake its signature spiced flavor, and applesauce lends moistness while allowing you to use less oil. A drizzle of golden caramel syrup is the finishing touch, making this the perfect "ta-da!" dessert to serve at your next dinner party or ladies' tea.

Vanilla Angel Food Cake with Berry Compote

View Recipe: Vanilla Angel Food Cake with Berry Compote
The lack of gluten in this angel food cake makes it taste better than the wheat-based variety, because—it's missing that tiny bit of chew. The white rice flour, cornstarch, and just a little brown rice flour along with the egg whites give the cake a light, airy texture, resulting in a gluten-free cake that tastes simply heavenly.

Key Lime Cheesecake

Key limes are smaller than Persian limes; they have a greenish-yellow rind and a stronger, more sour-acidic flavor. They have a short growing season, usually June through August. If they're not in season, you can substitute bottled Key lime juice and Persian lime zest.

This is not your typical angel food cake. The texture is still light, but the chocolate and almond add a level of decadence that takes it a few steps beyond the classic.
