This Gluten-Free pound cake tastes every bit as decadent as its typical pound-cake counterpart. The Nutella swirl is an extra special treat!
Ingredients
  • 1 cup [2 sticks] butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla bean paste (or 2 tsp vanilla extract)
  • 1 cup Bob's Red Mill Sweet White Rice Flour
  • ½ cup Bob's Red Mill Sorghum Flour
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ cup Nutella, divided
  • Rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Liberally grease a 9-inch loaf pan with a little cold butter or gluten-free nonstick spray; set aside.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the butter and sugar until light and creamy. Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla bean paste/vanilla extract to combine.
  3. In a medium bowl, sift together the White Rice Flour, Sorghum Flour, cornstarch and baking powder. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet mix, beating well after each addition until a soft batter has formed. Spoon about ½ cup of the batter into a separate smaller bowl; stir in about ⅓ cup of Nutella to blend.
  4. Spread the vanilla pound cake batter into the prepared pan in an even layer. Top with globs of the Nutella batter. Use a butter knife to gently swirl the Nutella batter into the vanilla pound cake batter, giving it a marbled effect. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out mostly clean. Cool slightly before inverting the cake carefully onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  5. Once cooled, use the remaining ¼ cup of Nutella to drizzle onto the pound cake -- I popped the remaining Nutella in the microwave for about 15 seconds to soften. Immediately sprinkle with rainbow sprinkles and serve! Store airtight, at room temperature, for several days.
