Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (280 grams) gluten-free 1:1 baking flour
  • 1.5 cups (300 grams) granulated sugar
  • 3.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240 milliliters) buttermilk, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup (120 milliliters) neutral oil (like avocado or vegetable oil)
  • Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add the softened butter, eggs, buttermilk, vanilla extract, and oil to the dry ingredients.
  • Using an electric mixer on low speed, mix until the ingredients are just combined. Then, increase the speed to medium and beat for about 90 seconds. The batter will be smooth and slightly thick. Do not overmix.
  • Evenly divide the batter between the prepared pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before turning them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
