Description
This is my go-to recipe for a moist, delicious, and easy gluten-free cake that everyone will love. Perfect for those with gluten sensitivities or anyone looking for a tasty alternative to traditional cake.
Ingredients
- Gluten-Free Flour Blend: A pre-mixed blend designed for baking is ideal.
- Sugar: Granulated sugar provides sweetness and structure.
- Baking Powder: Leavening agent to help the cake rise.
- Salt: Enhances the flavors of the other ingredients.
- Eggs: Adds moisture, richness, and helps bind the ingredients.
- Oil or Melted Butter: Contributes to the cake’s moistness.
- Milk or Dairy-Free Alternative: Adds moisture and helps create a smooth batter.
- Vanilla Extract: Enhances the overall flavor.
Instructions
- Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour blend, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, oil (or melted butter), milk (or dairy-free alternative), and vanilla extract. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
- Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into a greased and gluten free-floured cake pan. Bake in a preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients for better emulsification.
- Measure ingredients accurately; gluten-free baking requires precision.
- Avoid overmixing to prevent a tough cake.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting.
