Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 3 units Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan with non-stick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter and sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in the pure vanilla extract until everything is thoroughly combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three parts, alternating with the whole milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully remove the cake from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting or serving.
