Gluten Free Yellow Cake
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1 3/4 cups 361g granulated sugar
- 16 tablespoons 227g unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon table salt
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon gluten-free vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs at room temperature
- 1 cup 226g milk, at room temperature
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 °F Lightly grease two 9" round cake pans.
- Whisk together the flour or flour blend, xanthan gum, and Cake Enhancer.
- In a large bowl working or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the sugar, soft butter, salt, baking powder, and vanilla for 45 seconds at medium-high speed, until smooth.
- Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl. Still using the mixer, beat in the eggs one at a time; the mixture should become quite fluffy. Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl again.
- Continuing to use the mixer, mix in the milk, at low speed, alternately with the dry ingredients, adding about 1/3 of each at a time, and ending with the dry ingredients. The batter will look curdled after the milk addition; that’s OK, it will come back together once the final addition of flour has been mixed in for 30 to 45 seconds.
- Scoop the batter into the prepared pans. Bake the cake for about 25 to 30 minutes, about 3 to 4 minutes past the point where the cake springs back when touched lightly in the center, and a cake tester (or toothpick) inserted into the middle comes out clean. The finished cake’s internal temperature should be 210°F.
- Remove from the oven, and cool for 5 to 10 minutes before turning out of the pan to cool on a rack.
