About Gluten free sponge cake

Gluten-Free Sponge Cake is a light and airy dessert made without wheat-based flour, ideal for those with gluten sensitivities or those following a gluten-free diet. Traditionally rooted in European baking, this cake is crafted using alternative flours such as almond, rice, or coconut flour, often blended with cornstarch or potato starch to achieve its signature fluffy texture. Key ingredients typically include eggs, sugar, gluten-free flour, and a leavening agent, with some recipes incorporating vanilla or citrus zest for added flavor. Compared to dense cakes, its minimal use of fats like butter or oil can make it a lighter treat. However, sugar content remains relatively high, so portioning is key for a balanced diet. Naturally versatile, this cake pairs well with fresh fruits, whipped cream, or a simple dusting of powdered sugar, making it a delightful option for those seeking a gluten-free indulgence.
