Thursday was my birthday and I tried out a new cake recipe.  It turned out really good!  Here is a pic of one just out of the oven.  It rose up very nicely.  It did sink down a tiny bit as it cooled.

mmmm so good!  We actually like gluten free cakes much better then the wheat flour ones. 

Here is the recipe, the original called for white rice flour.  I changed that to brown rice flour.  I may also change the sugar to whole cane sugars to.  It's originally from here: http://www.recipezaar.com/224448

1/2 cup sorghum flour

1/2 cup tapioca flour

1/2 cup brown rice flour (fine ground)

1 cup cocoa

1/2 tsp baking soda

2 1/2 tsp baking powder

1 1/2 tsp xanthan gum

3/4 cup of salted butter

3/4 cup brown sugar

1 cup sugar

3 eggs

2 egg yolks

2 tsp vanilla

1 1/2 cups buttermilk

Mix the flours together, then add the rest of the dry ingredients and blend.

Cream butter, then add sugars beat until fluffy.  Add the eggs one at a time, add vanilla.

Alternately add flower mixture and buttermilk.  Pour into a prepared cake pan and bake at 350F for 30 minutes.
