โญ Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour Blend (with xanthan gum) (Best Gluten-Free Option)
1 cup per 1 cup bread flourGluten-free blends formulated with xanthan gum or similar binders can mimic the elasticity and structure gluten provides. This is crucial in vanilla cake to maintain crumb integrity.
Use a 1:1 ratio and ensure the blend contains xanthan gum or add about 1/4 tsp per cup of flour. The batter may be thicker and require gentle mixing.
The final cake will be more crumbly and less elastic than with wheat flour but can still be moist and flavorful, suitable for gluten-free diets.
