Ingredients
- 200 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 120 milliliters Whole milk
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 20 cm (8 inch) round cake pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the whole milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and a smooth batter forms.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, remove from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Once cooled, slice the tea cake into wedges and serve. Enjoy your Gluten-Free Classic Tea Cake with a cup of tea!
