Gluten Free Funfetti Cake

Gluten Free Funfetti Cake

Ingredients:

• 280g Gluten Free Flour (i'm still using Our Compliments by Sobeys)
• 1 Teaspoon Xantham Gum
• 54g Cornstarch
• 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda
• 2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
• 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
• 140g Butter, room temperature
• 300g Sugar
• 2 Teaspoon Vanilla
• 3 Eggs
• 1 1/3 Cup Milk
• 1 Cup Nerds Candy, or Gluten Free Sprinkles(or more than 1 cup, depending on how much fun you want in the cake)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Line a 10 inch cake pan with parchment, and spray with cooking spray.
3. In a large bowl sift together GF flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, xantham gum, and salt. Or if you do not have a sifter, whisk thoroughly for several minutes to ensure complete blending.
4. In a medium bowl, using electric beaters, or with a standmixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This takes at least 5 minutes, sometimes more.
5. Mix in vanilla.
6. Beat in eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
7. Add creamed butter/sugar/egg mixture to dry along with all of the mix and beat with electric beaters until just combined.
8. Do not over mix. The moment most of the flour is incorporated stop beating. If needed stir batter by hand to finish mixing in flour.
9. Fold in the sprinkles or nerds candy.
10. Pour batter into prepared cake pan. knock the bottom of the pan a few times against the counter to dislodge any air bubbles.
11. Bake in preheated oven for 40-60 minutes, until a cake tester comes out clean.
12. Allow cake to cool in pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely before decorating.
