Gluten Free Peanut Butter Cake Recipes

GLUTEN FREE PEANUT BUTTER CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180*F and spray four 6-inch cake pans with cooking spray. (You can use three 8-inch cake pans or three 9-inch cake pans. The layers might be thinner, and baking time will vary, but there will be enough batter for larger cake layers.)
• Whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, powdered peanut butter (if using!), and salt.
• Combine flax/linseed meal with the warm water. Let it sit for 5 - 10 min
• Combine Almond milk and vinegar and let it sit for 5-10 min
• Cream butter on medium speed with an electric mixer. Add peanut butter; mix well. Add both sugars and vanilla. Mix until combined. Add eggs one at a time with mixer running; mix well.
• Add half of the flour mixture and half of the buttermilk to the butter/sugar mixture. Mix until just incorporated. Repeat with remaining flour and buttermilk; mix until combined.
• Divide batter among cake pans and bake for about 25 minutes (this will change depending on the size of the pans you use), or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake layers comes out clean.
• Let cake cool in pans for 5-10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease 10 four-ounce ramekins and place them on a rimmed baking sheet.
