The design of this snowflake pan is what really makes this cake special.

I wanted to post for a while a healthy gluten and dairy free bundt cake recipe but there were always some events that diverted my plans.

So here it is, a simple easy, allergy friendly dessert perfect for winter holidays or as edible gift for those who can’t imagine Christmas without cake.

A Simple Holiday Bundt Cake Recipe

If layered cakes seem complicated to you but you still want a special dessert to please your guests during holidays, then you should try to make a snowflake bundt cake. I ordered this nordic ware snowflake cake pan from Amazon.

In order to make this Christmas snowflake cake gluten and dairy free, I had to adapt the recipe that came with the nordic ware snowflake cake pan – the result: a moist and delicious treat!

My gluten and dairy free free version is loaded with wholesome ingredients and is naturally sweetened with coconut sugar, stevia, and fruit. I didn’t use any pre-mixed starchy gluten free flours, there is no butter, no milk and no refined sugar.

This Gluten Free Christmas bundt cake is soft, moist and full of of apple and cinnamon flavor – a perfect holiday dessert, the kids will love it!

I made this snowflake cake pan recipe quite often in the last couple of months and my husband who loves gluten filled desserts is quite fond of it.

He can eat half of this cake in a single serving as breakfast. And my three year old daughter is helping him with the other half!

It’s pretty clear…, the lightness, the moistness of the cake and the sweet flavor of apples and cinnamon makes it so enjoyable.

Easy Snowflake Cake Pan Recipe

This year, I want to relax a bit and stay less in the kitchen and that’s probably why I’m more inclined to prepare easier holiday treats.

I actually like to enjoy those kind of healthy baked goods that can be devoured either for dessert or for a delicious breakfast in the Christmas morning without too much fuss.

This Christmas snowflake cake is soft and tender due to apples – an absolutely healthy gluten free bundt cake that takes very little effort to make.

No icing, no topping, nothing else is necessary at all. Bundt cakes in general are beautiful, decorative cakes so you will never go wrong if you’re not a baking expert.

How To Make This Snowflake Cake Pan Recipe

Making a simple cake still needs a good presentation, for this I’m going to use a snowflake bundt pan.

A Bundt pan is actually a trademarked piece of kitchen equipment, not just a generic style of pan. It was invented by H. David Dalquist, the founder of Nordic Ware, in 1950. Some 68 years later.

Nordic Ware is still making good quality bundt pans, they have tons of pan shapes more elaborate than the original ridged one.

It’s the holiday season, after all. That’s why I chose a Nordic Ware snowflake shaped Bundt pan. This is going to be the star of any dessert this year, and will totally eliminate the need for more complicated cakes. This is not a sponsored post by the way!

Healthy Holiday Bundt Cake Recipe

As for the recipe, yes it is possible to bake a delicious gluten and dairy free Christmas cake without processed ingredients.

The vinegar and the baking soda gives it a nice lift so you don’t need baking powder. The fine flours actually provide nutrition and texture and the applesauce lends moistness while allowing you to omit dairy.

The cake can be made in a variety of different cake pans. It can also be made into cupcakes and mini loaves. You just need to adjust the baking time as needed.

How To Store This Christmas Snowflake Cake

I store the bundt cake at room temperature, either uncovered or very loosely covered.

This is a moist cake and the crust will soften a great deal if it is stored airtight.
