Description
This gluten-free vanilla bundt cake is rich, moist, and topped with a delicious butter glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup milk (dairy-free use unsweetened almond milk)
- 1 tbsp white vinegar
- 1 cup unsalted butter (dairy-free use Smart Balance butter)
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
- 3 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour with xantham gum
- 1 tsp gluten-free baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter (dairy-free use Smart Balance butter)
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Spray a 14 cup bundt pan heavily with gluten-free cooking spray. I use coconut oil cooking spray.
- To make the homemade buttermilk, add the vinegar to the cup of milk and stir.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and 2 cups sugar together with your mixer until fluffy.
- Add the pure vanilla extract and eggs to the butter mixture and mix until smooth.
- Add the baking powder, baking soda, and gluten-free flour and mix until fully combined.
- Pour in the homemade buttermilk to the cake batter and mix until fully combined. The cake batter will be very thick.
- Pour the cake batter into the greased bundt pan and bake on the middle rack for 70 minutes, or until a toothpick entered into the center comes out clean.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add in ¾ cup granulated sugar, pure vanilla extract, and water. Bring to a very low boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 1 minute until the sugar is dissolved.
- Poke holes all over the warm cake with a butter knife (or cake tester, or chopstick) and pour the butter glaze evenly over the cake while still in the pan.
- Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan and then invert the cake onto a serving plate.
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar and enjoy!
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute all dairy ingredients with dairy-free alternatives.
- Make sure to use gluten-free cooking spray on the bundt pan for easy removal.
