What ingredients do you need?
To make a gluten-free pound cake, you will need gluten-free flour, baking powder, salt, unsalted butter, sugar, eggs, Halo Pantry Pandan flavoring extract, and milk. Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature for the best results.
DRY INGREDIENTS:
- 1 ⅓ cup gluten free 1:1 baking flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ cups white sugar 250 grams
- 2 teaspoons Halo Pantry's pandan extract
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup butter melted
PANDAN GLAZE: 1 cup of powdered sugar + 1/2 tsp Halo Pantry's Pandan flavoring + 1 tablespoon milk whisked together until smooth then pour over the cooled cake. Add more sugar for thicker glaze.
How do you make the batter?
Start by creaming together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, until everything is well combined.
What is the baking process?
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan. Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top. Bake for about 35-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
How do you serve the pound cake?
Once the gluten-free pound cake has cooled, you can slice it and serve it as is, or top it with whipped cream, fresh strawberries, or a drizzle of chocolate. This cake is perfect for any occasion and is sure to be a hit with everyone, whether they are gluten-free or not.
