Gluten occurs naturally in wheat flour in the form of a protein molecule that gets activated when the flour is mixed or kneaded and reacts further with the leavening agents like yeast. When consumed too much, it can affect the nutrient absorption capability and immunity of the body.
Cakes without gluten don’t rise much and that’s why people think that they don’t taste that good. Substitutes like wheat flour and xanthan glue flour blends are used for making gluten free fluffy cakes.
Let us now give you some amazing apple cake recipes that can be made without the gluten flour but are not low on the taste and moistness quotient.
