I didn't rate it either, tbh.

In answer to your question, yes the recipe will be fine using non GF flour but you might need to adjust the sugar too - I always find GF recipes compensate for lack of gluten by increasing the sweetness

I am looking for a gluten free recipe and although I would like to try the pineapple recipes I don’t know if they would be so good with gf flour.

If you can't find a recipe for GF, then choose a recipe which has very little flour it (as a proportion of all of the ingredients)

So less chance of disaster.
(I have used this approach for brownies)

Have you tried the black bean gf brownies - the recipe is in my “oh help” thread - so delicious youngest child ate them and liked them without knowing what was in them

I can reccommend this recipe too. Made several cakes last year to share with others and I just made ½ recipe size yesterday. Great to have as all year round cake as it's so easy to make and bake.
