Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Lightly grease and line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs to the butter and sugar mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure they are fully incorporated.
Stir in the vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix just until all ingredients are combined and the batter is smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then remove it from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, preheat the oven again to 300Β°F (150Β°C).
Slice the cooled cake into 1/2-inch thick slices using a sharp knife.
Place the slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-15 minutes, then flip them over and bake for another 10-15 minutes until they become golden brown and crisp on both sides.
Remove from the oven and let the rusks cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
