Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 4 large eggs, separated
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup neutral oil
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • powdered sugar, for garnish
  • fresh berries, for garnish
  • whipped cream, for garnish
  • lemon zest, optional

Equipment

  • 8-inch round cake pan
  • mixing bowls
  • whisk
  • electric mixer for whipping egg whites
  • spatula for folding batter
  • parchment paper

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F. Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks, honey, oil, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir gently until combined.
  5. In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the batter in batches to keep the mixture airy.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top gently.
  7. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until the top is lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan. Dust with powdered sugar and serve.

Notes

Use room-temperature eggs for maximum volume when whipping the whites. Fold gently to maintain the airy texture. Add lemon zest for brightness or fold in fresh berries for variation. Avoid overbaking to keep the cake moist and fluffy.
