Bandwagon Buttermilk Berry Cake
- 1/4 cups Millet Flour
- 1/4 cups Sweet Rice Flour
- 1/4 cups Tapioca Starch
- 1/4 cups Potato Starch (Not Potato Flour)
- 1/4 teaspoons (scant) Xanthan Gum
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
- 1/4 teaspoons Salt
- 1/2 sticks Butter, Softened
- 13 cups Sugar
- 1 whole Egg, Room Temperature
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoons Lemon Zest (optional)
- 1/2 cups Buttermilk (Room Temperature, Be Sure It's Gluten-free!)
- 1 cup Fresh (or Frozen - Not Thawed) Berries - I Used Blackberries
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees, grease and flour a 9 inch cake pan (regular or Springform your choice!
- Free will!
- ).
- Sift together the flours, xanthan gum, baking powder, baking soda and salt, and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar for about 2 minutes, so theyre well combined and light in color and texture.
- Add the egg and the vanilla, and mix well.
- (Did you know that most recipes add egg at the same time as vanilla?
- If not, thats nifty to know in case someone i.e., me winds up forgetting to mention adding the vanilla.
- I think it has to do with eggs binding fats so that you can mix oil and water.
- If you watch Alton Brown, you know what Im talking about.)
- Add the flour mixture in thirds, alternating with the buttermilk.
- Blend just completely, and then stop.
- Put the batter in the prepared pan, even up the top and chuck your blackberries in.
- If youre like me (or Deb, evidently), you start to get a tic if theyre not more or less evenly distributed.
- All of my berries were swallowed into the cake, so there was no dimpliness to be had.
- Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes (mine was 20 minutes on the dot), until golden brown and a cake tester comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for about ten minutes, run a knife around the outside of the pan, and turn out of the pan, cool completely on a rack.
- Serve plain or with a dollop of fresh whipped cream.
- Or cool MOST of the way and serve slightly warm with vanilla ice cream.
- Now why didnt I think of that earlier?
