Ingredients
Scale

- 1 1/2 cup white rice flour
- 3/4 cup almond meal ((almond flour is even better))

- 3 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 160C/320F.
- Grease and line three 6-inch cake tins with vegetable oil and baking paper and then dust with a tiny amount of gluten-free flour to coat the cake tin.
- Make your flaxseed egg by mixing flaxseed and water together and set aside to thicken.
- In a large mixing bowl sieve flours, starch, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar together and give it a quick whisk to combine ingredients.
- In a large jug, mix vinegar with soy milk until it becomes thick. Then add oil and vanilla and mix together. Add thickened flax egg and stir.
- Pour liquid into flour bowl and gently fold ingredients together with a whisk until just combined.
- Pour batter into each cake tin making sure they both have the same amount of batter and tap on the bench to release air bubbles.
- Place tins into the middle of your oven and bake for 25 minutes or until a skewer poked into the middle comes out almost clean.
- Allow to sit in the cake tin for 10 minutes before turning onto a cooling rack. Run a knife around the outside of the cake before flipping it onto your cooling rack.
