  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar (10 ½ ounces; 297 grams)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 4 cups powdered sugar (16 ounces; 170 grams)
  • 4 tablespoons milk (2 ounces; 56 grams
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350℉. Grease a 9x13-inch pan with nonstick cooking spray Or if you want to remove the cake for serving, line the pan with parchment paper and grease with nonstick cooking spray.

  2. Whisk together the gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Add the softened butter. Mix, on medium speed, until the butter is incorporated. Very small pieces of butter should dot the mixture.

  3. Add the milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until batter is smooth and fluffy, about one minute.
  4. Spread batter evenly into prepared pan. Bake until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes.

  5. While the cake cools, make the frosting.

    Mix butter until smooth in a medium mixing bowl. Add powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix, on low speed, until smooth.

  6. When cake is cool, frost it and then enjoy.
