Do you think you could substitute Gluten Free Flour? I’m willing to try (with baking powder and a dash of salt).
Hi Val! You shouldn’t have any problem substituting Gluten Free Flour for the All Purpose. You do need to use a binder like xanthan gum. You will need about 1/4 teaspoon. However, if you are using a 1 to 1 or measure for measure Gluten Free Flour, you won’t need to add the binder because it is already mixed in. You don’t need the baking powder or salt. Let me know if you have any more questions.
Great recipe. Didn’t change a thing and it was delicious!
Hi Debbie! we’re so glad to hear you like this recipe just as much as we do!

Very tasty dessert, the only comment/recommendation I would give is to let people know if they double/triple the recipe they need to use a larger dish. Maybe for the 2x use a 9×13 baking dish and the 3x use a 13 x 11 baking dish. Some one new to baking would not think of that adjustment.
