My son is allergic to corn. I am going to make your recipe for Huckleberry Cream Cheese Cake but substitute tapioca for cornstarch and see how it turns out.
Good luck and let us know how that goes for you!

Elise… curious to hear how the tapioca replacement for cornstarch worked out? Sandy and I are both gluten sensitive, so we are always looking for the non-wheat family alternatives. We don’t have a problem with corn, but since most corn is GMO (unless certified organic), we avoid most of that as well. Have you ever tried millet bread instead of corn bread?… to me, millet tastes a lot like corn in many recipes, not as starchy. I was always going to use ground millet instead of cornmeal in a cornbread recipe, but never got to it… happy de-corning. We understand about the allergies, as we have LOTS of them… not just gluten.
