Corn Flakes Cake is a delicious and simple dessert to make without flour, so it can easily be categorized as gluten-free, as you already know that corn is gluten-free. Corn flakes or corn flakes were invented by the Kellogg brothers, (hence they are named after them) who were doctors and needed to recycle stale grain; so they created this product to serve to their clinic’s patients. Of course, these products have evolved shortly after and today we all know the wide range of corn flakes. I always choose orange marmalades for my desserts and fresh oranges, I think it’s due to my Sicilian roots. Forgive me. This corn flakes cake is very similar to my ricotta cake with orange marmalade, I really like it in this version, but it can be made with any marmalade of your liking. Both recipes can be found on my blog. giallozafferano.it/vaipinacucina. On my blog you will also find a section dedicated to Gluten Free

My name is Pina, and my passion is food and cooking in general. On the blog, I focus on regional dishes like those from my birthplace, Sicily. I also feature dishes from Lazio, the region that has hosted me for over 40 years, but in general, I cover all Italian regions. Traveling and exploring is my second passion, so I couldn't leave out dishes from around the "World" on my blog. My blog is divided into simple and essential sections like appetizers, first courses, main courses, side dishes, bread and leavened products, jams and preserves, wines and wineries, and of course, travels. Desserts are included, and finally, there is a dedicated corner for gluten-free options. Easy recipes, explained step by step and always updated.
