Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
- 2.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 3 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans with gluten-free flour.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened 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-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition.
Mix in the vanilla extract.
Alternately add the dry ingredients and the milk to the butter-sugar mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined after each addition.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cakes comes out clean.
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then carefully remove them from the pans and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Frost with your favorite gluten-free frosting and serve.
