The Best Gluten-Free Vanilla Cake
This is seriously the most delicious cake, it's easy to make and healthier than your average cake.
Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten-free all purpose flour (I use Bob's Red Mill)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/2 cups super fine sugar or powdered sugar
- 1/4 tsp sea salt or Himalayan salt
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup milk (raw, almond, coconut, whole, whatever works for you)
- 1 stick grass-fed butter, melted
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract (yes a whole tbsp!)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Frosting Ingredients:
- 4 cups powdered sugar (this makes a lot of frosting)
- 2 sticks butter, softened
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- enough milk to thin it out, usually 4-5 tbsp
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350.
- Add all cake ingredients to a large bowl.
- Using a hand mixer, stand mixer or even a whisk (I just used a whisk last time I made this), combine all ingredients until smooth.
- Grease, flour or add parchment paper to two cake pans.
- Add half of the batter to one cake pan, half to the other.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes. I only need 20, but you may need more. Insert a toothpick to the center to see if it's done at 20 minutes.
- Let the cakes cool fully.
For the frosting:
- Add the powdered sugar, butter and vanilla to a large bowl.
- Use a hand mixer or standing mixer to beat the butter with the powdered sugar.
- Add a tbsp of milk at a time until you reach desired thickness. I use about 4-5 tbsp.
- Frost the cake. Devour!
