Ingredients

• 200 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 115 grams Unsalted butter
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 120 milliliters Whole milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 20 cm (8 inch) round cake pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the whole milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and a smooth batter forms.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, remove from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Once cooled, slice the tea cake into wedges and serve. Enjoy your Gluten-Free Classic Tea Cake with a cup of tea!
