We love our whole grain cakes, especially the ones where wheat-free grains are highlighted! Pastry Chef Cecilia Leung, of Christine Moore’s Little Flour and Lincoln restaurants in Pasadena, taught this stunner in one of her Gluten Free baking classes. Like all their GF baked goods, this cake is filled with all the good grains and no bad gums or starches. We source the super-fine brown rice flour from nearby Authentic Foods.
