GF Pro Pound Cake
High protein, low carb, gluten free — made with Petley Grain GF Low Carb All Purpose Flour.
Equipment
- Regular loaf pan (or a bundt pan with smooth sides for a double recipe)
Ingredients
- 4 oz salted butter (1 stick = 1/2 cup)
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 5 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 1/4 cups Petley Grain GF Low Carb All Purpose Flour
- 1 tbsp lemon juice, lime juice, or orange juice
- 1 tsp vanilla
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 325°F.
- 2Grease a regular loaf pan and coat it with sugar, or line it with parchment.
- 3Add the all purpose flour and baking powder to a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside until needed.
- 4Add the salted butter and granulated sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or a large bowl with an electric hand mixer) and cream until light and fluffy. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
- 5Add the room temperature eggs one at a time, beating each one in before adding the next. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl between each addition.
- 6Add the dry ingredients one half cup at a time until combined. Mix on low just enough to incorporate, scraping the bowl as needed.
- 7Add the lemon juice and vanilla and mix to combine.
- 8Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- 9Place the pan on the center rack and bake 80 to 85 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean.
- 10Out of the oven, if not using parchment, run a thin knife around the edge. Place the cake (in the pan) on a wire rack.
- 11Cool in the pan on the rack for 20 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate and remove the parchment to cool completely.
- 12Serve with fresh berries, vanilla ice cream, or homemade whipped cream.
