Gluten-Free Glazed Donut Cake

I am not going to lie … I made this gluten-free glazed donut cake on a Wednesday. Just because. And it was basically gone by Thursday morning – I enjoyed the last piece with my coffee. Pure heaven.

Cake is good any day of the week …

This cake was much easier than I expected! My friend posted a buttermilk glazed donut cake recipe from Southern Living Magazine. That’s not really the name, but that title gives you all the information you need to know. I knew I could probably make a gluten-free glazed donut version without much trouble. We love cake over here. LOVE. (Victoria Sandwich Cake, How To Make An Exploding Sprinkle Cake {Video}, How To Make A Reindeer Cake {Video}, Pineapple Tres Leches Cake (gluten free!) … just a few of our faves!) 

Cake for the win!

You deserve this cake. It’s hard to believe it’s gluten-free.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 c sugar
• 1 c butter room temperature
• 4 eggs room temperature
• 2 teas vanilla extract
• 3 1/2 c gluten free flour all purpose flour blend is fine
• 2 teas baking powder
• 1 teas salt
• 1 teas nutmeg
• 1/2 teas baking soda
• 1 c buttermilk
• 1 c powdered sugar

Instructions

1. Cream 1 1/2 cups of sugar and 1 cup of room temperature butter for 2 to 3 minutes.
2. Whisk together 4 eggs (also at room temp).
3. Add 2 teaspoons vanilla extract and the four eggs. Mix.
4. In a separate bowl, mix 3 1/2 cups GF flour with 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda.
5. Alternate 1 cup of buttermilk with the flour mixture. Stir a little after each addition.
6. After everything is mixed together, pour into a greased and floured Bundt Pan.
7. Cook at 350 degrees for about 50 minutes. Test for doneness with a fork or long toothpick. Let cool on a wire rack for 15-20 minutes and turn onto a smooth surface and immediately flip over. You want the fancy side down.
8. When the cake is cooled, mix about 1 cup of powdered sugar with some water in a stand mixer until it looks like a glaze.

9. Pour the glaze over the cooled cake.
