Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Baking Pan
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Step 2: Melt the White Chocolate
- Place the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl and melt it over a double boiler. Stir until smooth, then set it aside to cool slightly.
Step 3: Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 4: Cream Butter and Sugar
- In a separate bowl, beat the butter and sugar together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. This step incorporates air for a tender cake texture.
Step 5: Add Eggs and Vanilla
- Add eggs to the butter mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
Step 6: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix just until incorporated to avoid overworking the batter.
Step 7: Fold in the White Chocolate
- Gently fold the melted white chocolate into the batter using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 8: Bake the Cake
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 9: Cool the Cake
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
Step 10: Frost and Decorate
- Frost the cake with your favorite frosting, such as white chocolate ganache or cream cheese frosting. Add decorations like shredded coconut or fresh fruit for a beautiful finish.
