Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour Sifted for better absorption.
  • 1.5 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened Should be at room temperature.
  • 1 cup milk (or a dairy-free alternative)
  • 3 large eggs Should be at room temperature.
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  • In a large mixing bowl, sift together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk until just combined.

Baking

  • Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For optimal texture, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature. Consider adding a streusel topping for variation.
