My girls want to make an American Flag Cake for July 4th. I’d like to make it out of Vanilla cake, but I’ve not found a recipe for a sheet cake in vanilla. I want yummy, not ok for a GF cake. So any tried and true recipes out there?
I found these recipes, but I don’t know if they will translate to a sheet cake. Thoughts?
What about the almond flour cupcake recipe from Elana’s Pantry?
Thanks,
Christie
I don’t. But here’s a cute idea using just fruit. Perhaps you could make it like a fruit pizza and use a sugar cookie type crust with the cream cheese like topping (or whipped cream). Maybe a pudding base. Jello? I hope you find something you like.

Here is the recipe I use. This was the first time I made rounds, I have always used it as a sheet cake. =)
@sheila – So, basically, you just make three cakes to layer them? It looks like it ended up about as tall as most round two-layer cakes are.
Christie, My daughter uses the Bob’s Red Mill gluten free pizza crust mix as a base for cakes. They are delicious and moist. She made a carrot cake that was the best carrot cake I’ve EVER had. That’s saying a lot for anything GF. So while I don’t have a recipe for you, you might try googling for a recipe using that mix.
LOL Sue, That paticular cake was 2 cake recipes, but we were having lots of family come and we had to have enough cake. I just made both the chocolate cake and the yellow (vanilla, white, whichever) for the other 2 birthdays this month and only made one recipe. I just used smaller rounds. The best thing I have found when I altered these recipes to be gluten free was that they have to stay thin to bake all the way through. So I only put an inch or so in any of my shaped pans and just bake the shapes until all the batter is gone. =) It works well for us since I have all my cake decorating pans and shapes from days long gone by and I have duplicate sized pans.
We can’t use most mixes because they have yeast in them. That seriously limits what things you buy off the shelf.
Christie,
I can highly recommend Spunky Coconut’s Vanilla Bean Cake! To make a sheet cake, you’d probably have to double or even triple the recipe, but it’s worth it! Not to mention this cake is dairy-free for your little guy and sugar-free for you. Win-win-win. Trust me on this…I love this vanilla cake even more than vanilla cake that has flour and all the yucky stuff in it.
Blessings,
Lindsey
Where do you buy coconut flour? I’ve seen several recipes I’d like to try that have this in them but where do I get it?
Thanks
@pangit, I buy coconut flour from my health food store. I normally buy it from the bulk freezer, or if not in stock, I get Bob’s Red Mill.
Thanks for the great ideas. I can’t wait to do those fruit shush kabobs!
I ended up making the one Lindsey suggested and tripled it for a jelly roll pan. I made a simple cream cheese/whipped cream frosting from elana’s pantry. It was a HUGE hit with everyone and no one believed that it was made from beans!
Thanks!
I totally want to try it. If we love it, I might just serve it for breakfast. It has beans – it’s healthy, right?
