Gluten-Free Pound Cake

This recipe for gluten-free pound cake is the gluten-free version of a Kentucky Butter Cake. This popular cake was the winner of the 1963 Pillsbury Bake-Off Contest.

This gluten-free buttermilk pound cake is soaked in sugary butter syrup that creates a perfect sweet crunchy crust. The syrup not only adds extra moisture to the cake but gives the cake a sugary coating similar to a glazed donut.

You can see just how easy this gluten-free pound cake is to make in the recipe step photos and in the recipe video.

How To Make Gluten-Free Pound Cake

  • Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • Spray a bundt pan (14.5 cups) heavily with gluten-free cooking spray. (I use coconut cooking oil cooking spray)
  • To make the homemade buttermilk: add the white vinegar to the cup of milk and stir.
  • In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together with your mixer until fluffy.
  • Add in the pure vanilla extract and eggs and mix until smooth.
  • Add in the baking powder, baking soda, and gluten-free flour and mix until combined.
  • Pour in the homemade buttermilk and mix until smooth. The cake batter will be very thick.
  • Pour the cake batter into the greased bundt pan and bake on the middle rack for 70 minutes or until a toothpick entered into the center comes out clean.

  • Right before it’s time for the cake to come out of the oven, make your butter sauce.
  • In a small saucepan, melt the butter. Stir in the granulated sugar, water, and vanilla. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 1 minute until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Once you take the cake out of the oven, poke holes all over the top of the cake.
  • Pour the butter sauce all over the warm cake still in the pan.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan and then invert the cake onto a serving plate and sprinkle the top of the cake with powdered sugar.
  • Store leftovers in an air-tight container.

Gluten-Free Flour

For this recipe, I used Pillsbury gluten-free flour. It is a rice flour cup for cup blend. A cup-for-cup all-purpose gluten-free flour blend is one that already has the starches and xanthan gum.

Most gluten-free all-purpose flour blends have starches and xanthan gum already in them. The xanthan gum helps replace the elasticity and texture of gluten.

So make sure to check the ingredients of your gluten-free flour as not to add any extra xanthan gum to your flour if it already includes it. If you add extra xanthan gum to the recipe, you will get gummy cake!

Not all gluten-free flours are created equal. You may experience different baking results depending on the gluten-free flour blend you choose.

Pro Tip For Measuring Gluten-Free Flour

First, it’s important to use a measuring cup made for dry ingredients (not a pyrex liquid measuring cup) to measure the flour. I always measure gluten-free flour with the “spoon & level” method.

I use a spoon to scoop the flour into the measuring cup. Then I use the back of a knife to level off the top of the measuring cup.

Please do not scoop the flour out of the bag with your measuring cup. If you do, you could end up with more flour than is called for in the recipe.

Dairy-Free Baking

For the dairy-free option, I used unsweetened almond milk and Smart Balance butter. I promise it is just as delicious made with dairy-free butter and dairy-free milk. So, you too can enjoy a gluten-free and dairy-free pound cake.

Most of my family is also dairy-free (including me), so I always try and have a dairy-free option to my recipes.

Easy Gluten-Free Pound Cake Recipe

This is the easiest gluten-free pound cake you will ever make! This one-bowl cake batter is made with just a few simple ingredients.

This classic gluten-free pound cake is moist, buttery, and coated with a sweet buttery glaze that creates a sweet, crunchy crust.

This is my go-to cake when making a dessert for friends and family that are not gluten-free. I usually serve it with fresh berries and whipped cream.

This gluten-free pound cake is always a crowd-pleaser and everyone always says, “you would never know that it’s gluten-free!”

  1. This cake is lovely. I didn’t make the glaze as by the time it was cooled I couldn’t be bothered, but it was delicious without it. I’ll definitely be making this again!

  2. This is my go to dessert when I want to impress. I serve it with a maple pecan bourbon sauce, fresh fruit (cherries, berries, whatever is in season) and bourbon whipped cream. Itโ€™s amazing.

  3. Great ,flavorful cake! It doesnโ€™t taste gluten free. I added a little lemon flavoring to the cake. Delicious!!!!

    1. Hi Debra! You could halve the recipe and bake it in two loaf pans, which will require a bit less time to bake so watch it carefully. You could also bake it in a 9×13 pan, which will likely require a bit longer in the oven.

  4. I made this cake last night… delicious!!!
    Too much for one person. I will have to freeze it, hopefully will taste as good once thawed.

  5. Made this for the first time last night. It was so easy and so good! My older daughter loved it despite being the most critical gluten eater in the house, and my younger one said she is “obsessed” with this cake! I definitely will make this again!

  6. I didnโ€™t have almond milk but it still worked! Made it with my grandkids and they loved itโ˜บ๏ธ

  7. This is my new favorite cake! Wow, so delicious, especially with strawberries and whipped cream. I loved it as is but I might try cutting the sugar down next time or at least halving the icing as it is very sweet. You have quickly become one of my favorite gluten free resources. Thank you!!

  8. One of the best GF recipes I have ever tried! Thank you so much for creating this recipe and sharing.

  9. Iโ€™ve now used this recipe at least 3 times already, so I thought I should finally write a review. It is so quick and easy, I now make it for events were the guests are not gluten free. I always get such positive comments on how moist and delicious these cakes are. I do not have a large Bundt pan, but I have a set of mini-bundtlettes. Because of the smaller size, I bake at 350 for 25 minutes. Never have had a dud with this one.

  10. Best pound cake I have ever had!! Made it for my wife’s birthday (she is gluten intolerant) with Better Batter gf flour and regular buttermilk. As with your other recipes I found the video clip on what things should look like while making this cake to be extremely helpful. No surprises when indeed it was a very thick batter. The glaze that soaked into the cake while cooling is a really nice touch!

  11. This cake was a huge hit with my family and friends! Thanks for taking the time to make these recipes and share them. Also happy you included it in the cookbook. ๐Ÿ™‚

  12. This is the best pound cake recipe that I have ever eaten!!! It is so moist and delicious!!! I would give it 10 stars if they had them!!! Thank you so much for sharing this with us!!! Tracy

  13. Another great recipe! Made this last night using gf jules flour, went straight by the recipe and it turned out great. I cut it in half and shouldn’t have as it’s almost gone already. Thank you, Audrey, for another delicious dessert!

  14. Iโ€™ve been trying to make a gluten free pound cake for years and they always turn out entirely too dense. I used a few pound cake tips from bon appetit, primarily to cream the sugar and butter for what feels like forever, and then some more, and to make sure the butter and sugar are truly room temp. BA said to leave it out โ€œfor a few hoursโ€ LOL. I also relied on a few gluten free baking tips from the Larder – basically mix your batter for longer to get more air into the batter and to let it rest for 30 min before baking so that the flours absorb the moisture. I subbed cup 4 cup in this recipe because I prefer it to other gluten free flours and the cake came out perfectly. So grateful for this. I havenโ€™t had a decent homemade pound cake in years and it was very close to what I was used to eating growing up. Thank you!

  15. I typically am very annoyed by reviewers who changed the recipe, but I hope this is not annoying. I have been very sad this holiday season, missing my family and some favorite treats. I decided to try modifying this recipe to see if I could enjoy the essence of swedish coffee bread (a yeast bread) but with the gluten free flour I already had at home. I added 1tsp of cardamom and reduced the sugar to 1.5 cups (and left off the glaze). I cried while I ate it bc it was just what I was hoping for. Thank you for this recipe. I will definitely also try it unmodified.

    1. This makes my heart so happy to hear Charissa! I will have to try your version sometime. I have never had Swedish coffee bread before. Thank you so much for the wonderful review and for sharing your modifications.

  16. I have been looking for a pound cake recipe i had a craving for pound cake and with all my food allergies i didn’t think i would find a tasty recipe like yours. I made this recipe yesterday I am gluten-free and dairy free and have an allergy to eggs. Basically I’m vegan. I converted the recipe with fantastic results. I ate 2 slices right after it was cool. I used King Arthur’s 1 to 1 all purpose flour, Earth balance butter and just eggs. I was extremely surprised and happy how amazing the recipe came out. I have tried many other recipes with many fails. This recipe is great and i will keep as my go to recipe. Thank You for sharing this recipe!

  17. I love this blog! Every recipe I have tried turned out well. I added some lemon juice to the cake and the glaze, and it turned out amazing!

  18. I love pound cake and have made this one(dairy free also) many times. Itโ€™s hard to just have one slice a day.

  19. I made this recipe for Easter and turned out great! Everyone loved it. The only thing different is I didnโ€™t add the glaze- instead I made a homemade chocolate buttercream icing with baileys and decorated it. Everyone loved it even though it was gluten free- excellent! Thank you!

  20. Insanely good. I halved the recipe and made it in a 6″ Bundt pan in the air fryer. I still had too much batter, so I microwaved a couple of mug cakes with it. Both were good, but the finished Bundt was awesome.

  21. Great receipt, I sub egg with Flax seed and milk with oat milk. Half the amount as I donโ€™t want to end up with a big pan of failed cake. Should have gone for the full one as kids love it so much.

  22. So moist and flavorful. Made this for a little girl’s birthday. She was thrilled.
    The glaze frosting knocks it out of the park!

  23. Wow! I made this as my son can’t currently have gluten. Served it to my ever-so-picky daughter, my 19 year old nephew, they didn’t even realize it was gluten free! Me neither!The taste, texture and flavor are rich and paired perfectly with strawberries and whip cream, no need for sugar on the berries since the cake was perfectly moist and sweet. Thank you!!

  24. I absolutely love this cake. Have made it several times and each time everyone raves over it. One of my go-tos now. Thanks for sharing your amazing talent.

  25. This is the best gluten=free, dairy free recipe of any kind of cake let alone a super delicious buttery pound cake! I was looking for a cake like Nick’s Restaurant Butter Cake…this is almost better than that plus I can eat it. Audrey did a fantastic job of making suggestions that made this recipe fool-proof!

  26. This is a delicious cake, as good as anything made with wheat flour. I only made 1/2 the glaze and it lacks nothing. Love your recipes Mama!

  27. This was so fabulous that my chocoholic husband loved it. I would love to make it for Father’s Day as a chocolate cake. Can I add cocoa to his recipe and make it a fabulous chocolate cake?

    1. Hi Lilly! I have never tried adding cocoa powder to the recipe. If you try it will you please tell me how it turns out? I am so happy that you enjoyed the pound cake. Thanks!

  28. I made this yesterday. Another simple and absolutely delicious recipe. I use gfJules flour, which is awesome. Thank you again, Audrey. My husband and I have been enjoying your recipes.

  29. Looks amazing, but is there an option thatโ€™s not using eggs? Also, can we use sugar in the raw or stevia instead of white sugar? Thanks in advance for your help.

    1. Hi Laura! I have not tried this recipe with an egg-replacer or using a white sugar replacer. If you try it will you please let me know how it turns out? Thanks!

    1. Thank you so much Grace for the wonderful 5-star recipe review! I am so happy that everyone enjoyed the cake. You are so welcome, I love sharing the recipes I make for my family. Thanks again!

  30. My husbandโ€™s favorite is pound cake. When we went gluten free I tried a lot of recipes. This is now our go-to recipe. Making 2 this morning for a super-bowl party.

    1. Thank you so much Linda for the wonderful 5-star recipe review! I am so happy that it’s your favorite pound cake and it’s your go-to recipe. Thanks again!

  31. I love all your recipes?My question is my family can’t tolerate buttermilk! What can I substitute for the buttermilk to make it dairy free? Thank you so much for all your hard work in making gluten free/ dairy free people enjoy eating again?

    1. Hi Ellen! I make my own dairy-free buttermilk by adding 1 tablespoon of white vinegar to dairy-free milk (almond, cashew or coconut milk) and allowing it to sit for a few minutes. You can also use lemon juice instead of the white vinegar. Thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement!

  32. I have left a star rating before and also a comment, but I just had to again. A few months ago I had made this cake for my family and everyone loved it! Today I made it for my in-laws and again everyone was in love. It is truly amazing!

    1. Thank you so much Gemma for the awesome 5-star recipe review! I am so happy that everyone loved it. You really made my day. Thank you again!

  33. I love this cake! I took it to work for a shower and a co-worker with celiac actually cried when she ate it because she hadn’t had cake that tasted good in years. I made it again last week for Father’s Day and served it with strawberries and whipped cream. I was really hoping for at least one piece leftover to have later, but no such luck! (And I am the only one on a gluten free diet!) Proof that you don’t need gluten to have a great dessert. Thanks for another great, easy to prepare recipe.

    1. Thank you so much Kimm for the awesome 5-star recipe review! It makes my heart so happy to hear that you love the cake, especially that your celiac co-worker really enjoyed it too. I love topping this cake with strawberries and whipped cream too. My family always devours this cake. You are so welcome, I love sharing what I make for my family.

  34. This is actually really good. I always loved Kentucky Butter Cake and when I went gluten-free, I grieved not having my favorite cake again. Then I stumbled upon this recipe! The results will vary depending on which flour you use. I used Cup4Cup Multipurpose and it turned out like a dream. My brother and nephew are not gluten free, but picky eaters like me and they even liked it. We all felt like it didn’t have the consistency of GF. We used it as the base of Strawberry Shortcake and it was delish!

    1. Thank you so much Coralie for the wonderful 5-star recipe review! I am so happy that you found my recipe for your favorite cake and that you enjoyed it. That makes my heart so happy! I am glad to hear that the Cup4Cup worked beautifully with the recipe. I have not tried the Cup4Cup because it has dairy in it, but I know a lot of people love it. Thank you for sharing that with me. I am happy that your family enjoyed it as well. I love hear that people that don’t have to be gluten-free enjoys one of my recipes. I use this cake for strawberry shortcake all of the time. My family loves it! Thank you again!

    2. This cake has become our family favorite! My gluten eating family loves it and can’t get enough! The original recipe is amazing. I also use this recipe as a base for other types of cake. I’ve layered it with peaches and tonight I’m mixing in grated apples and cinnamon. No more boxed cakes for this girl! Thank you!

      1. Thank you so much for the wonderful 5-star recipe review Jen! I am so happy that this cake is your family’s favorite and that it is easy to add layers of fruit to the cake. Thank you for sharing that tip, because I know it will help others. I love helping others and sharing what I make for my family, you are so welcome! Thanks again.

  35. I am wondering if I could just half this recipe?? Just need enough for two GF (Allergies) people for 2 days of dessert.
    Thanks, Cathy

    1. Hi Cathy! I have never tired halving the recipe before. It would make for a smaller bundt cake. Do you have a small bunt cake pan? You could always freeze the cake for later too. I hope you enjoy it!

  36. This cake is amazing! I made it for my sister’s birthday and everyone loved it. My dad asked me for the recipe before we left and my husband said it’s one of the best pound cakes he’s ever had.

    1. Thank you so much Gemma for the wonderful 5-star recipe review! I am so happy that everyone loved the cake, especially that your husband said that it was one of the best pound cakes he’s ever had. Thank you again!

  37. This was fantastic! I made it this morning to try with my family, and they loved it! So, I made another one this afternoon to bring to work! I cannot wait to try it with homemade whipped cream and strawberries. Iโ€™m so happy to make something so delicious to share with my co-workers who have gluten and dairy intolerances:-)

    1. Thank you so much Jen for the amazing 5-star recipe review! I am so happy that you enjoyed the pound cake. You really made my night, since you baked two of these cakes today.

    1. Hi Brandy! I have never tried this recipe in a muffin pan. If you try it will you please let me know how it turns out? I hope you and your son enjoy the cake.

  41. Is there any way to cut down the sugar a little bit or use a substitute for part of the sugar and still keep it as the recipe?

    1. Hi Debbie! I have never reduced the sugar in the recipe before. Sugar in a recipe not only sweetens the cake but also add moisture. If you try it will you please let me know how it turns out? I hope you enjoy the cake. Thanks!

  42. Thank you for the pound cake recipe, I couldn’t find one anywhere but I knew that I would find one on Facebook, I’ll bake it soon, thanks again, can hardly wait to taste it.

  43. Thank you for this recipe. It is one of the best gluten free cakes I have made. The texture is velvety and the glaze is delicious. Resisting a 2nd slice is almost impossible. I will definitely be making this cake again and again.

    1. Thank you so much Martha for the wonderful 5-star recipe review! I am so happy that you enjoyed the pound cake. I know I can never resist a second piece either. It’s one of my family’s favorite cakes. You are so welcome, I love sharing what I make for my family. Thank you again for the kinds words and your review!

    1. Hi Bree! I have not tried it with an egg substitute. Recently I have been trying my recipes with Bob’s Red Mill egg replacer but I have not tried it with this recipe yet. If you try it will you please let me know how it turns out?

    1. Hi Bree! I have not tried this recipe with egg replacers. If you try it will you please let me know how it turns out? Thanks!

  44. Made this for my daughter’s birthday last night. It was AMAZING! Thank you for sharing this recipe. It is hard to find good (uncomplicated) gluten free dessert recipes.

    1. This makes my heart so happy to hear Sarah! Thank you so much for the wonderful 5-star recipe review. You are so welcome, I love sharing what I make for my fmaily. I am so happy that you enjoyed the butter cake for your daughter’s birthday!

  45. Can you use coconut flour. If so how much. As a diabetic gluten free person, I need to change the carbs. Or would you use a combo of almond flour/ coconut flour.

    1. Hi Nita! I have never tried this cake with either coconut flour or almond flour. I do not think that either of those flours will work. Take a look at my Paleo cupcakes or muffins recipes. The muffins use almond flour and the Paleo chocolate fudge cupcakes use a coconut and almond flour mix.

  46. This cake was fun to make with my daughter and it turned out perfectly! It was the best cake Iโ€™ve ever had that Iโ€™ve baked myself and my entire family loved it too. Homemade whipped cream and strawberry sauce went perfectly! Iโ€™m definitely going to be making this again!

    1. Thank you Leah for the wonderful 5-star recipe review! I am so happy that you enjoyed making the gluten-free Kentucky Butter Pound Cake with your daughter and your family enjoyed it! I love baking with my daughter too. It’s one of my family’s favorite cakes. Yum homemade whipped cream and strawberry sauce sounds divine!

    1. I am so glad that you enjoyed it! It’s one of my family’s favorite cakes. Thank you so much for the wonderful 5-star recipe review Amy.????

  47. This is a great recipe. Many times, gf pound cakes are so gummy. Not this one. It has great texture as well as tastes great. We all loved it. Thanks so much for this recipe.

    1. I am so happy that you enjoyed it Judith! You are so welcome, I love sharing what I make for my family.

  48. This is one beautiful cake and perfect for strawberry shortcake! It looks so pretty on the plate!

    1. Thank you so much Renee and for the wonderful 5-star recipe rating! This cake is perfect for strawberry shortcake.

  49. We just LOVE this cake!!!! It was so easy to make and I get such a sense of satisfaction when I pour over that butter glaze.
    My Dad has to follow a GF diet so it is always my go to when I have to make him a cake!

    1. I am so happy that you and your family love this cake Claire! I love the butter glaze too. That’s awesome that you make it for your Dad and support him with his gluten-free diet. Thank you so much for the wonderful recipe rating!

  50. Ahhh….this moist, buttery, Kentucky butter cake was amazing! After a get together here at the house, not a crumb was left on the cake stand. This recipe was enjoyed by all!

    1. I am so happy to hear that everyone enjoyed the cake Denay! My whole family loves this cake too. Thank you so much for the wonderful recipe rating!

  51. Thank you so much for the recipe, it made a special birthday cake. I altered it a bit for ease; and to contain less dairy by using coconut oil in place of butter, and soy milk in place of cow milk. I still used the vinegar. I used one pack of great value gf yellow cake and one pack of Pillsbury gf yellow cake in place of the dry ingredients and sugar. The Pillsbury would have been too dry and the great value too wet on their own. We glazed individual slices instead of the whole cake. Even eating a slice without the glaze was delicious. I credit your egg and vinegar and vanilla ratios. Thanks for a winning recipe!

    1. I am so glad that you enjoyed it and was able to modify it to your dietary needs. You are so welcome! I love sharing what I make for my family.
