Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups (210 g) gluten-free 1-to-1 baking flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup buttermilk, room temperature

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan.
  2. Cream the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla.
  4. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add to the butter mixture in three additions, alternating with the buttermilk, starting and ending with flour. Mix just until combined.
  5. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely. Frost and slice.

Notes

For a layer cake, divide between two 8-inch pans and bake 25 to 30 minutes. Weighing the flour with a kitchen scale gives the most reliable results, especially with gluten-free blends.
