I made this for my mom's 65th birthday and frosted it with a simple vanilla buttercream. No one can tell it's gluten free!

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 16 servings

  • 2 cups gluten-free flour

  • 1 ½ cups white sugar

  • 1 cup flaked coconut

  • ½ cup chopped walnuts

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 teaspoon xanthan gum

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup coconut milk

  • 1 cup vegetable oil

  • 4 eggs

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  2. Whisk flour, sugar, coconut, walnuts, baking powder, baking soda, xanthan gum, and salt together in a bowl. Add coconut milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract; mix until batter is smooth. Spread batter into the prepared baking dish.

Recipe Tip

You can use two 9-inch round pans instead of a 9x13-inch baking dish and bake for 20 minutes.
