Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 0.75 cups Unsalted butter, softened
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 3 Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 2 cups Mixed berries (such as blueberries, strawberries, raspberries), fresh or frozen
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar, for dusting

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix just until combined.

Step 6

Gently fold in the mixed berries using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix, especially if using fresh berries, to prevent them from breaking apart.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Once the cake is completely cool, dust the top with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy your gluten-free mixed berry cake!
