Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 g Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 60 g Almond flour
- 2 tsp Baking powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 170 g Unsalted butter (softened)
- 200 g Granulated sugar
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 120 ml Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 100 g Powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp Milk (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan (9x5 inches) with butter or non-stick spray. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
On low speed, alternate adding the dry ingredients in three parts and the milk in two parts, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until no streaks of flour remain; avoid overmixing.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the surface with a spatula.
Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cake is cooling, prepare the glaze. Whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of milk in a small bowl until smooth.
Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the glaze evenly over the top, letting it drip down the sides.
Allow the glaze to set for about 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your gluten-free glazed pound cake!
