    Ingredients

    Here are the ingredients to make this gluten free peach dessert:

    • ground flax seeds + water, this is used as an egg replacer and will make the cake softer
    • brown rice flour, this is one of my favorite flours to use, but you can replace with quinoa flour too for instance, if you like its taste
    • gluten free starch, I used tapioca, but potato, corn, rice starches work aswell
    • brown sugar, can be replaced with other sweetener of your liking
    • baking powder, or a mix of baking soda and cream of tartar, as I do
    • light vegetable oil, I usually use sunflower seed oil, coconut oil is great too
    • gluten free plant based milk, like soy, rice or nut milks
    • fresh peaches
    • lemon juice to season the peaches before adding them to the batter

    Check the recipe card below for all the quantities

    Tips and substitutions

    Can I skip flax seeds?

    Yes you can, the flax "gel" helps make the cake softer, but if for any reason you can't or don't want to use it, the cake will still come out great

    Can I replace the brown rice flour?

    Yes, you can. You can use quinoa , amaranth or oat flour, for instance.

    Can I make this gluten free peach cake using canned peaches?

    You sure can! Drain the liquid and only use the peach wedges.

      This cake looks amazing! I want to try this recipe but I can't find potato starch anywhere in my town. I was wondering if I can substitute with tapioca starch or corn starch. I'm new to gluten free baking so I don't know much about how the flour blends work. Thank you in advance! πŸ™‚
