I learned how to make the original version of this cake when I was 10 years old. It's that easy! As far as my sister and I are concerned, it's not a real birthday cake unless it's this recipe with seven minute frosting. :D

Thank you, thank you! My three little girls were so excited to have a birthday cake that tasted like the real thing this year...moist and light. And it is so much cheaper than the ready made gluten free mixes...yay!

Thank you soooo much Queen Bead for giving my pumpkin pie a cake that she can have for her birthday.I even put it in a character pan and it works great! She is allergic to wheat and milk protein so this recipe is the bomb. And also the flour blend gives her mom a base that she can use for other recipes Thanks again Kellie

I made this for my husband's birthday and it was wonderful! This is the first cake I've attempted since going gluten free and we were very impressed. It was as good, if not better, than the wheat-based boxed cake mixes we use to buy at the store. I saw another person commented that the cake didn't rise, but the one I made rose perfectly - I followed the instructions with no changes.

Wow! So light and fluffy, not to mention easy to make. I made them with carob powder and half the sugar because I can't have chocolate. I also used a bean flour/potato starch flour mix. I will be making these over and over.
