Why Gluten-Free?

For those with gluten sensitivities or Celiac disease, finding delicious and satisfying desserts can sometimes be a challenge. This recipe uses a gluten-free flour blend to ensure everyone can enjoy a slice of this autumnal treat. We recommend using a high-quality blend that contains xanthan gum for optimal texture and binding.

Ingredients You’ll Need:

• 1 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup packed light brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
• ½ cup strong brewed coffee, cooled

For the Latte Glaze:

• 2 cups powdered sugar
• ¼ cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan with gluten-free flour.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the pumpkin puree and cooled coffee, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
8. To make the latte glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, cooled coffee, and vanilla extract until smooth.
9. Pour the glaze over the cooled cake and let it set before serving.

Tips for Success:

• Use a high-quality gluten-free flour blend for the best texture.
• Don’t overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake.
• Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting to prevent the glaze from melting.

Enjoy your delicious Gluten-Free Pumpkin Spice Latte Cake! It’s the perfect treat for a cozy fall evening.
