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.

So, being that we can’t go very many places, of course we made it. And ate it for lunch. No rules.
You know a recipe is from Southern Living if it has at least one cup of butter and buttermilk and 2 cups of sugar. This recipe does not disappoint.

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.
