Recipe by Robert Landolphi
This gluten-free layer cake has a bright flavor and a wonderfully rich frosting. Garnish it with thin lemon slices.
Ingredients
- 2.6 ounces white rice flour (about 1/2 cup)
- 2.3 ounces brown rice flour (about 1/2 cup)
- 2.1 ounces sweet white sorghum flour (about 1/2 cup)
- 2.1 ounces tapioca flour (about 1/2 cup)
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 large eggs
- 1/3 cup canola oil
- 2 tablespoons grated lemon rind
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
- 1 cup low-fat buttermilk
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 °.
- To prepare cake, weigh or lightly spoon flours into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flours, xanthan gum, and next 3 ingredients (through salt) in a medium bowl; stir with a whisk.
- Place granulated sugar and 1/4 cup butter in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until well blended. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in canola oil, lemon rind, and lemon juice. Add flour mixture and buttermilk alternately to sugar mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture.
- Pour batter into 2 (8-inch) round cake pans coated with cooking spray; sharply tap pans once on counter to remove air bubbles.
- Bake at 350 ° for 30 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pans on a wire rack; remove from pans. Cool completely on wire rack.
- To prepare frosting, place cream cheese and 3 tablespoons butter in a medium bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating until well blended. Beat in 1 teaspoon lemon rind, 2 teaspoons lemon juice, and vanilla until smooth.
- Place 1 cake layer on a plate; spread with 1/2 cup frosting. Top with second cake layer. Spread remaining frosting over top and sides of cake. Store cake loosely covered in refrigerator.
