Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 4 pieces Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Almond milk (unsweetened)
• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt substitute (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with a nonstick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes on medium speed.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Make sure the eggs are fully incorporated into the mixture.

Step 4

Mix in the vanilla extract until combined.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt substitute (if using).

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the almond milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until incorporated after each addition. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Slice and serve when the cake has cooled to room temperature. Enjoy your low sodium gluten-free pound cake!
