Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 3 Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup Buttermilk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, cream the softened butter and sugar together on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

With the mixer on low, gradually add the flour mixture in three parts, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix just until combined and the batter is smooth.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Use a spatula to spread the batter to the edges and smooth the tops.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Once cooled, frost with your choice of gluten-free frosting or enjoy as-is. Serve and enjoy your delicious gluten-free classic yellow cake.
