Gluten free Angel Food Cake






Gluten free Angel Food Cake


Recipe by Gluten Free Baking By Rachelle (Rachelle Himmelman)

Who says us Celiac or gluten intolerant people cannot have Angel Food Cake? Now we can enjoy Gluten free Angel Food Cake just like before.  I was thinking to myself when I was diagnosed Celiac holy cow my life is so over! I mean how many of you have felt just like this? I have discovered through trial and error that we can enjoy just about anything gluten free as when we were eating wheat. I have come across so many people who have just plain given up because they can no longer eat wheat, I'm here to tell you that I was once in this boat, but not anymore.  I now feel better and get the same enjoyment out of my food as I once did!! :)
