FAQ
👉As always, I recommend storing the cake well-sealed, in a cake container or under a dome, this will keep it soft for several days.
👉If you tried my recipe, let me know in the comments, and especially let me know if you liked it!!
👉If you prefer a homemade flour mix instead of ready-made mixes, you can replace it with 60% rice flour, 20% corn starch (cornflour), and 20% potato starch. Always make sure they display the crossed-out ear symbol on the package and the gluten-free label.
