Gluten-free Cherry Cake
Finally! Cherry season is here! Whoop-whoop!
I love these delicious red fruits packed with all kinds of healthy nutrients – vitamins, minerals, fiber, anti-oxidants, and so much more!
And the best part is – they are the perfect ingredient for all sorts of healthy gluten-free desserts! Yesss!

And today I would like to share with you my absolute favorite one – the gluten free cherry cake! It has zero added sugar, no wheat protein, and it is absolutely suitable for those who avoid lactose since you can freely use any kind of vegan milk instead of the regular dairy type.
But do not be fooled, although this recipe does not contain any added sugar, this gluten free cherry cake is absolutely delicious! With the help of the mighty Potassium-rich bananas, some dehydrated fruits of choice (such as raisins) and the mouthwatering cherries, this allergy-free dessert is an excellent kid-friendly party treat. Or just a nice afternoon delight with a cup of tea or a glass of refreshing summer diet-friendly frappe!

Of course, feel free to decorate your gluten free cherry cake with whatever you prefer! I am a big fan of chocolate, especially the 
vegan spicy metabolism-boosting one I have on my blog you can check right here: Metabolism-Boosting Vegan Chocolate Recipe
Orrrr, you can find two of my other healthy chocolate recipes in my FREE ebook “12 Healthy Dessert Recipes” =>
Plus, do not forget we have the powerful cinnamon which is a wonderful sugar level balancing substance, a metabolism speeding agent, and an anti-inflammatory spice! The perfect addition to your healthy lifestyle!
BTW, speaking of speeding the metabolism and healthy weight-loss, I want to make a quick announcement! I am in the final stages of developing my book on healthy weight-loss using the keto diet (and its liberal gluten free variations) So, if you decide to subscribe to my newsletter, you will be among the first folks who can garb their copy on Amazon! So, stay tuned!
Now grab your cherries and let’s get baking! I promise – you are going to love this!

Oooh this looks delicious! I love cherries and have loads in the kitchen right now! I need to try baking with rice flour, I feel like I always stick to what I know, but I see so many amazing recipes that use different flours. I guess I’m scared it won’t turn out right, but this cake seems easy to make and looks great!
Do not worry, Annie, this recipe is very easy to make! I am sure it will turn out alright!
This cherry cake is a great healthy option for dessert. I always look forward to cherry season and I can’t wait to make this yummy cake.

Absolutely! Fingers crossed your sister will like the cake!
This recipe is soooo good! I love that there is no added sugar, and it’s perfect for cherry season!
I always try to make mt recipes with as little sugar as possible with the natural flavor of the fruits! 🙂

You are welcome, Ana! Happy baking! <3
I LOVE cherries and am lucky enough to live in a big cherry growing area in Northern Italy, so i even get to pick cherries off the trees in the orchards near my house! Our cherry season is coming to an end but before it does, I’d love to make this cake. I’ve never baked with rice flour! So, am really interested in trying it!
Oh, you are very lucky indeed! I keep looking for local cherry and sour cherry farmers. 🙂
This looks delicious!
Thank you, Maayke! I hope you like this gluten free cherry dessert!
Love cherries! I’m loving this cake recipe! I can’t to get in the kitchen and bake it for the family!
Let me know how it goes, Tisha! Happy baking!
Chocolate and cherries are so good together and I love how you’ve used the natural fruit sugars to sweeten the dish too.
I know, right! That’s my intention – to work with natural ingredients and as little sugar as possible! 🙂
Oh cherries, they are always so welcomed! And they have so many good properties too. Great idea for an easy summer dessert!
Thank you, Paula! <3
