Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum)
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup buttermilk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¾ cup boiling water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan, then line the bottom with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Slowly pour in the boiling water and mix until the batter is smooth and slightly thin.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure your gluten-free flour blend contains xanthan gum for best results.
- Measure ingredients accurately for optimal texture and rise.
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid a tough cake.
- Cool the cake completely before frosting to prevent melting.
