Celiac Safe Vanilla Bean Cake Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 2 ½ cups Better Batter Cake Flour (or King Arthur Measure for Measure Gluten-Free Flour)

  • 1 ½ tsp Baking Powder (aluminum-free and corn-starch-free)

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ½ cup unsalted butter (room temperature)

  • 1 ½ cups Wholesome Sweeteners Organic Cane Sugar

  • 3 large eggs (room temperature)

  • 1 tbsp organic Madagascar vanilla beans (scraped from the pod or use 1 tbsp vanilla extract if you’re in a pinch)

  • 1 cup whole milk (room temperature)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Your Oven & Prep Your Pan:
    First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Now, let’s prep that Nordic Ware Bunny in Basket 3D Cake Pan. This step is super important, so be sure to butter the pan really well, then dust it with a little gluten-free flour. This will ensure your cake comes out of the pan easily and stays beautiful. 🧈

  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
    In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together your Better Batter Cake Flour (or King Arthur Measure for Measure), baking powder, and salt. Set this aside.

  3. Cream the Butter & Sugar:
    In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter and Wholesome Sweeteners Organic Cane Sugar until it’s light and fluffy. This will take about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer. I promise, the fluffier it gets, the better the texture of the cake!

  4. Add the Eggs and Vanilla:
    Add your eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, scrape out the seeds from your organic Madagascar vanilla bean and mix it in with the batter. You can also use 1 tbsp of vanilla extract if you prefer. The smell of vanilla is going to make you feel all warm and cozy inside! 🌸

  5. Combine the Dry Ingredients with the Wet Ingredients:
    Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Start with the dry ingredients, add half of the milk, then the rest of the dry ingredients, and finish with the milk. Be careful not to overmix; you just want everything incorporated. 🍶

  6. Pour & Bake:
    Pour the cake batter into your prepared bunny pan. Give it a little shake to smooth it out and get rid of any air bubbles. Now, bake it in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  7. Cool & Remove from the Pan:
    Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully remove the cake by flipping the pan over onto a cooling rack. Don’t worry, the buttering and flouring steps will make sure your bunny comes out perfectly!

How to Serve:

Once your cake has cooled completely, it’s time to serve it up! I love serving this Celiac-safe vanilla bean cake with some fresh berries or a dollop of ice cream on the side. It’s sweet, light, and just the right treat for Easter. 🐇💐

A Quick Tip:

This cake is so flavorful and moist on its own, it doesn’t even need frosting! The natural sweetness from the Better Batter Cake Flour and vanilla beans shines through. However, feel free to add a dusting of powdered sugar if you like a little extra sweetness.

So, what are you waiting for? Grab your ingredients, get baking, and let me know how it turns out. I’m sure it’ll be a hit! 💖

Hoppy Easter baking, friend! 🐰🌸
