Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 120 milliliters Whole milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 20 cm (8 inch) round cake pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, 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 the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the whole milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and a smooth batter forms.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, remove from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice the tea cake into wedges and serve. Enjoy your Gluten-Free Classic Tea Cake with a cup of tea!
