Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
  2. 1 cup sugar
  3. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  4. 3/4 cup milk
  5. 2 large eggs
  6. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  7. 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  8. 1 teaspoon baking powder
  9. 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper, ensuring the sides are also lightly buttered to prevent sticking.
  2. In a medium bowl, sift together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. This helps remove any lumps and ensures even distribution of dry ingredients.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes. The mixture should become pale and increase in volume.
  4. Add eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with milk. Mix gently to prevent overmixing, which can make the cake tough. Stir until just combined.
  6. Fold in the white chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure an even surface.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 28-30 minutes. To check doneness, insert a toothpick into the center - it should come out clean with just a few moist crumbs.
  9. Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once cooled, optionally dust with powdered sugar or frost with a gluten-free white chocolate frosting before serving.

Tips

  1. Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your butter, eggs, and milk are at room temperature before you start. This helps create a smoother batter and a fluffier cake.
  2. Sift the Dry Ingredients: Sifting the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt not only removes lumps but also aerates the flour, resulting in a lighter cake.
  3. Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until incorporated. Overmixing can lead to a dense texture, which we want to avoid for a light and airy cake.
  4. Use Quality White Chocolate: For the best flavor, opt for high-quality white chocolate chips. This will enhance the overall taste of your cake.
  5. Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so start checking your cake a few minutes before the suggested baking time. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  6. Let It Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. This helps it set and prevents it from breaking apart.
  7. Optional Frosting: For an extra touch of sweetness, consider frosting your cake with a gluten-free white chocolate frosting or simply dusting it with powdered sugar before serving.
