Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Butter
- 200 grams White chocolate (gluten-free, chopped)
- 1.5 cups Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Golden syrup
- 250 milliliters Milk
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum (if not included in gluten-free flour mix)
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder (gluten-free)
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F). Grease and line a 20cm (8-inch) round cake pan with parchment paper.
In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter, white chocolate, brown sugar, golden syrup, and milk together, stirring continuously until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes.
Stir in the vanilla extract to the cooled mixture.
In a mixing bowl, sift together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum (if using), baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, whisking gently to combine. Be careful not to overmix.
Beat the eggs in a small bowl, then fold them gently into the batter until smooth and fully incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 70-75 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, top with your favorite caramel frosting or ganache, or simply serve as is for a rich treat!
