🍰 Classic Butter Gluten-Free Cake

Ingredients:

• 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened

• 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar

• 4 large eggs, room temperature

• 1½ cups (180g) gluten-free all-purpose flour (with xanthan gum)

• 1½ tsp baking powder

• ¼ tsp salt

• ½ cup (120ml) milk (dairy or dairy-free)

• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Optional Add-ins:

• Zest of 1 lemon or orange (for citrusy flavor)

• ½ tsp almond extract for a nutty twist

🔪 Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch round or square cake pan with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).

3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt.

5. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk. Start and end with flour. Mix until just combined.

6. Stir in vanilla extract (and zest or almond extract, if using).

7. Pour batter into prepared pan. Smooth the top.

8. Bake for 35–40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

9. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

• Dust with powdered sugar for a simple finish
