TIPS AND TRICKS

Read labels of all recipe ingredients to ensure all are gluten-free.

No buttermilk? Use this simple substitute. Place 1 tablespoon white vinegar or lemon juice in liquid measuring cup. Add enough milk to measure 1 cup. Let stand 5 minutes.

For best results, do not open oven door during first 40 minutes of baking so cake can rise properly.
