Gluten Free Pound Cake Recipe

Kayla Cappiello
Gluten free pound cake made with gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, chocolate protein powder, applesauce, eggs, peanut butter, and baking powder. This pound cake reminds me so much of my childhood. We used to visit my aunt every sunday for lunch and dessert and she would always have pound cake!! This gluten free pound cake is perfect for a chocolate breakfast treat, an afternoon snack or a decadent dessert. 
Prep Time 7 minutes
Cook Time 45 minutes
Servings 8 slices

Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup gluten-free flour
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup chocolate protein powder
  • 2/3 cup applesauce
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup peanut butter
  • 1 pinch baking powder

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8x8 inch baking pan or loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, chocolate protein powder, and baking powder.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: applesauce, eggs, and peanut butter. Make sure there are no clumps of peanut butter.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the brownies tough.
  • Pour the batter into your prepared pan and spread it into an even layer.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not completely clean).
  • Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before frosting or cutting.
