Gluten-Free, Yellow Cake

Ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 sticks butter, softened
  • 1 1/3 cups sugar
  • 8 eggs (large), at room temperature
  • 2 egg yolks, at room temperature
  • 2 cups coconut flour, sifted
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/3 cups of milk (or half-and-half) + 1 tablespoon
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • coconut oil

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. With a pastry brush, grease two round, 9 or 8-inch cake pans with coconut oil and dust with coconut flour.

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the butter and sugar together for about five minutes on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, scraping bowl occasionally. Add the egg yolks into the butter and sugar mixture and beat together until well blended. Add the rest of the eggs in one at a time, beating mixture after each addition. In a separate bowl, combine all the dry ingredients together. Add the vanilla to the milk. With mixer on low speed, add the flour and milk to the butter and egg mixture, scraping bowl when needed. When all the milk and flour mixture is used up, beat the cake batter together for about five minutes until the color is a bit lighter and the batter is light and fluffy.

Spoon the batter into the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops. Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 30–35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean.

Place the cake pans on a wire rack and let it cool for about five minutes in the pan. Run a butter knife along the edges of the cakes before removing from pan. When cakes are completely cool, frost with Marshmallow Frosting or chocolate ganache. Enjoy!!
