DIRECTIONS

For the Gluten-Free Red Velvet Cake

Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease 3, 9 inch round cake pans and line them with parchment paper.

Mix together all the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. In a large liquid measuring cup mix together all the wet ingredients. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until combined.

Divide the batter evenly between the 3 pans (approx 1 cup per pan) and bake until a toothpick poked near the center of the cake comes out clean, about 25-30 minutes.

Cool before frosting with cream cheese frosting!

Using a stand mixer or electric hand beaters beat the butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy (5 minutes) add the milk or cream, powdered sugar and vanilla and beat until smooth (additional 3 minutes.)

NOTES

Bake for 30-35 minutes if you are doing 2 layers instead of 3
