Ingredients
Cake
| 2 cups Frankie's gluten-free all-purpose flour blend |
| 1 1/2 tsp baing powder |
| 1/2 tsp Kosher salt |
| 3 lg eggs |
| 1 cup white sugar |
| 3/4 cup neutral oil (vegetable or canola) |

Simple Syrup Cake Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F or 175°C
Grease and line a round 8" (20cm) round baking pan. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl combine the flour, baking powder and Kosher salt. In another bowl combine the eggs and sugar and beat on high until light and pale. Add oil, milk and vanilla. Stir dry ingredients into wet until smooth.
Pour into pan and bake for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
While the cake bakes make the simple syrup:
Heat sugar and water in a small saucepan until dissolved, simmer for 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and add citrus zest.
When the cake is baked and still warm, poke holes all over with a skewer. Slowly pour the syrup over the cake. Let is soak in completely before slicing.
I made this recipe with Frankie's gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, which works cup-for-cup with pretty much everything I bake. You can make this recipe as good as I do without compromising on any quality. Order your bag at: glutenfreefrankies.com or visit: Amazon and search for Frankie's Flour.
