This tender Gluten Free Spice Cake, topped with sweet cream cheese glaze, is a terrific blend of fall flavors. Baked in a Bundt pan, this spice cake recipe is easy and delicious!
- 2 1/3 cups gluten free flour blend
- 1 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground allspice
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 eggs
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons almond extract
- 1 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 to 3 tablespoons milk
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 10 or 12 cup Bundt pan.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour blend, sugars, allspice, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, baking soda, and salt until completely combined.
-
Add the eggs, milk, oil, and almond extract to the flour mixture. Using an electric mixer, on low, beat until combined. Turn the mixer to high and beat for 2 minutes.
-
Use a rubber spatula to fold the raisins and walnuts into the batter.
-
Pour the mixture into the prepared Bundt pan.
-
Bake for 55 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the cake comes out clean.
-
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 20 minutes. Then invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and almond extract until completely combined.
-
Add 2 tablespoons of milk and mix well. Add more milk, a small amount at a time, to attain the desired consistency.
-
Using a spatula or table knife, spread the glaze over the top of the cooled cake.
- Generously grease and flour the Bundt pan. This will keep the edges of the cake from sticking to the pan.
- Check the ingredients of your gluten free flour blend for xanthan gum. If your flour mix doesn’t contain it, try adding 1/2 teaspoon to the recipe. I used Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free 1 to 1 Baking Flour which contains xanthan gum.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before adding the glaze. If the cake is still warm, the glaze will slide right off.
