The Carnation nonfat dry milk powder is not suitable for breastfeeding mothers, but they can substitute the same amount of powdered whole milk instead.

I’ve tried this cake recipe with wheat flour and gluten-free flour, but it turned out fine both times. I prefer the taste of sorghum flour just as it is.
To me, this cake doesn’t have any gluten at all. But don’t worry if you want to experiment with different flours because it’ll probably turn out fine anyway.

Since this is a basic recipe, I wouldn’t recommend freezing leftovers because the texture might be icy.

You can store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. To freeze, thaw and then bake at 180 Degrees F until cooked through.
Is It Delicious?
This cake recipe is delicious and can be eaten fresh from the oven or frozen for later. The trick is to cook it slowly and make sure not to undercook it because the center of this cake tends to get a bit gooey, which isn’t very desirable, in my opinion.
