Ingredients
Scale

- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour (using gluten-free flour) a 9-inch round cake pan. In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

Notes
- Use a high-quality gluten-free flour blend that includes xanthan gum.
- Don’t overmix the batter to avoid a dense cake.
- Measure ingredients accurately for best results.
- Cool the cake completely before frosting or glazing.
