How to Make Gluten Free Poppy Seed Pound Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes with an electric mixer.
  3. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Gently fold in 1 cup poppy seeds.
  7. Pour batter evenly into the prepared loaf pans.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto wire racks to cool completely.
