Description

This gluten‑free birthday cake is soft, fluffy, and perfectly sweet — the kind of classic celebration cake everyone loves. Made with regular sugar and simple ingredients, it bakes up with a tender crumb and rich vanilla flavor that feels just like the birthday cakes you remember, only completely gluten‑free.

Ingredients
  • 1 3/4 cup gluten-free 1:1 flour (I've used both Cup 4 Cup and Pilsbury)
  • 2 tablespoons corn starch
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 3 room temperature eggs
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons neutral oil (avocado or canola)
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
Instructions
  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 325 degrees
  2. 2
    Grease and line your pan (2, 8 inch pans or 1, 9x13pan)
  3. 3
    In a small bowl, wisk together dry ingredients: flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, salt, sugar.
  4. 4
    In a large bowl, add melted butter, oil, milk, vanilla and sour cream and blend until well combined.
  5. 5
    Add room temperature eggs and combine until blended.
  6. 6
    Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk or stir until just combined. Do not overmix — gluten‑free batter thickens as it sits.
  7. 7
    Divide batter evenly between pans (or pour into a 9×13). Smooth the tops.
  8. 8
    Bake 23–30 minutes for 8‑ or 9‑inch rounds, or 27–38 minutes for a 9×13 pan. The cake is done when the center springs back and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs
