Gluten Free Pound Cake Recipe Ever
The best gluten free pound cake recipe. Choose to make orange or lemon.
Ingredients
- 4 oz gluten-free all-purpose flour I used Trader Joe's
- 2 oz gluten-free rice flour
- 1 oz potato starch
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp xanthan gum
- 8 oz sugar reduce sugar to 6 ½ oz for orange cake
- 2 Tbsp lemon rind or orange rind, depending on which flavor you are making
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed, or orange juice, depending on which flavor you are making
- 2 drops lemon oil or orange oil, depending on which flavor you are making
- 4 eggs large
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 4 oz butter melted (one stick)
Glaze (optional)
- 2 oz confectioner's sugar
- 2 tsp lemon or orange juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a loaf pan.
- In a medium bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, rice flour, potato starch, baking powder, salt and xanthan gum.
- Place the sugar and citrus rind in a food processor and pulse to combine. Next add the juice, lemon or orange oil, eggs, cream cheese and vanilla and process for a few seconds until well combined. While processing, add the butter in a steady stream. It shouldn't take more than 30 seconds.
- Pour mixture into another bowl and whisk in the dry ingredients until smooth. Then add the batter into the prepared pan, and bake for 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, reduce oven temperature to 325°F (160°C) and continue to bake for another 40 minutes, or until tester comes out clean.
- Allow to cool in pan for about 15 minutes, then run a knife around the edge, and carefully remove the cake from the pan. Allow to cool completely on a rack.
- Meanwhile, prepare the glaze if using. Mix the confectioner's sugar and juice together to form a runny glaze. Keep covered until ready to use, then drizzle over the cake. Alternatively, you can dust the top with confectioner's sugar, or go nude!
Notes
Add the flavoring you prefer to make it a lemon pound cake or orange pound cake, or even just vanilla.
