Gluten Free Tangerine Cake

Recipe Description

This Gluten Free Tangerine Cake may just be the easiest cake I have yet prepared in my kitchen and without the added ingredient of gluten, I enjoy this cake even that much more. A fabulous recipe, producing a soft and moist oven baked cake with a citrus and almond flavor combination that I add Amaretto to for some extra flair and finesse. This step is totally optional, but in my opinion, makes the whole cake!

To make Gluten Free Tangerine Cake, you will need the following ingredients:
