Difficult to roll. Better with 2 people. But it tasted pretty darn yummy and I'd say that's what really matters. Great recipe! Sticky, yes. Very sticky. Difficult to roll. Better with 2 people.

I'm hoping by "sticky" you mean "almost like a batter". I'll update once I have a finished product. Working on mine now…slightly scared (as I always am when trying out new gluten-free recipes).

I'm so glad the recipe worked well for you! I always appreciate hearing from people who still eat gluten. It's been so long, I'm not sure my taste buds can even remember what food with gluten tastes like. Heating up gluten-free baked goods is one of the first things I learned when we started this gluten-free life. If not fresh, heated or toasted is best. I'll be anxious to hear how it works with King Arthur's GF Flour. I have not frozen a King Cake myself, but have had other readers say that they have with good results. Just be sure to seal it up tightly. Thanks again, and good luck! Pier – Thanks for taking the time to add your comments. I’m so glad the recipe worked well for you!

I love this recipe. It is better (more moist and the crumb more tender) than a traditional recipe made with wheat flour. I like to heat it before serving as it the brown rice flour makes the cake a little stiff when cooled - similar to how leftover rice gets hard. Next time I am going to try with King Arthur's GF flour as mentioned above and see if that works as that is easier to find at my local store. One question: do you think this would freeze well?

However, based on the ingredients, I would think that it would do well to substitute for the flours. BUT, you will still need to add the xanthan gum. I don't believe that King Arthur's GF AP flour blend includes xanthan gum. Even just the small amount that is in the recipe is what helps hold it all together, and make it manageable enough to roll out. Good luck!

Can I use this instead of all the flowers and xanathan gum listed or can I only sub for this mix for tbe brown rice flour & I need to get potato starch, tapioca flour & xanthan gum? Thanks!
