Gluten free sponge cake recipe

•  This is an adaptation of one I found on recipe zaar. I have been searching for the perfect white cake recipe for birthdays for years, and it was perfect! Tasted just like angel food cake.  Still doesn't have a lot of height when it cooks, but doesn't weigh 10 lbs either, like most GF cakes.

 Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup cor starch
• 1/2 c gluten free flour mix with NO Xanthan gum
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 pinch salt
• 3 eggs separated
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1/2 tsp vanilla

   Sift corn starch, flour, baking powder and salt together.

4. 
   
   
   

   Gradually beat in sugar until mixture forms a figure 8.

5. 
   
   
   

   add vanilla

   Fold in the dry ingredients.

6. Divide into 2 well greased 20 cm (8") sandwich pans.
7. 
   
   
   

   Bake at 180 C or 350 F for about 20 minutes.

8. 
   
   
   

   Remove from pans and cool on wire rack.

9. 
   
   
   

   When cool, top one with whipped cream and jam (jelly).
