This gluten-free cherry chocolate cake is delicious and easy and my family loves it. I have several gluten-eating friends who love this cake and have made it for their gluten-free friends.
I have used Bette Hagman’s and Carol Fenster’s flour mixes in this, and they both turn out well.

Hi Linda!
I am new to GF baking so I was just wondering if I could use GF All-Purpose BAKING flour in the Cherry Chocolate Cake recipe or does it have to be the GF all-purpose flour mix? Any assistance you can give me is greatly appreciated.
Since gf mixes vary, I can’t say for sure how it would turn out, but it would probably be fine.
