Gluten-free buttercake

This gluten-free buttercake is a delicious and classic dessert that caters to those with gluten sensitivities without compromising on taste or texture. It's rich, buttery, and simple to make, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter
110g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g
3/4 cup sugar
150g
2 eggs
100g
1 cup self-raising flour
150g
1/2 cup milk (1% fat)
120g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a cake pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Cream the Butter and Sugar:
- In a large mixing bowl, add the softened butter and sugar. Use an electric mixer on medium speed to cream them together until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
3. Add the Vanilla and Eggs:
- Beat in the vanilla extract.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure they are fully incorporated into the batter.
4. Combine Flour and Milk:
- Gradually add the gluten-free self-raising flour to the batter, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the flour, mixing gently after each addition until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can result in a dense cake.
5. Pour the Batter into the Pan:
- Pour the prepared cake batter into your greased or lined cake pan. Use a spatula to spread the batter out evenly.
6. Bake the Cake:
- Place the cake pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
7. Cool the Cake:
- Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Serve:
- Once cooled, your gluten-free buttercake is ready to be served. You can enjoy it plain, or with a dusting of powdered sugar, or topped with your favorite frosting.

Tips:

- Ensure that all your ingredients are at room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother batter.

- To make your own gluten-free self-raising flour, mix 1 cup of gluten-free all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.

- Use high-quality vanilla extract for the best flavor.

- For additional flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of almond extract or a tablespoon of lemon zest to the batter.

- Test the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, the cake is ready.

- Let the cake cool completely before slicing to ensure neat and even pieces.

This gluten-free buttercake will surely become a favorite in your recipe collection. With its simple ingredients and straightforward method, you can enjoy a classic, flavorful cake that meets your dietary needs. Enjoy it plain, or pair it with your favorite fruits or a dusting of powdered sugar for an extra special touch.
