DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and rice flour two 8 or 9 inch round cake pans.

Mix the white rice flour, tapioca flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder and xanthan gum together and set aside.

Mix the eggs, sugar, and mayonnaise until fluffy. Add the flour mixture, milk and vanilla and mix well. Spread batter into the prepared pans.

Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 25 minutes. Cakes are done when they spring back when lightly touched or when a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Let cool completely then frost, if desired.

Pamela's cake mix and frosting mix are pretty good. Whole Foods has other brands as well that are gluten free. You can also get gluten free baking mixes with the directions on the package that aren't specifically cake mixes. Good luck!

I have heard that xanthan gum is very expensive especially when you only need a teeny amount. This info below came from foodsubs.com (the theasuraus of cooking).

xanthan = xanthan gum Pronunciation: ZAN-thun Notes: Derived from corn sugar, xanthan gum is used as a thickener, stabilizer, and emulsifier. Substitutes: guar gum OR pre-gel starch

I'd check with your local health food store, tell them what you're doing, and get their advice if they carry it. I believe the ratio is one to one but they'd know. Just something I picked up along the way.

Take a look at the Namaste products. I recently made a chocolate cake from one of their gluten free mixes that was outstanding! If you have a Whole Foods Market near you, you can get both cake mix and frosting there. Good luck!
