Instructions
- 1Preheat your oven to about 165°C (160°C). Grease a 22.86 × 12.7 cm loaf pan and dust it lightly with gluten-free all-purpose flour.
- 2In a large bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour, 1/2 cup Almond Flour, 1 tsp Baking Soda, 1/2 tsp Baking Powder, 2 tsp Spices, and 1/4 tsp Salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together.
- 3In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 2 Eggs, 1 cup Honey, 1/2 cup Brown Sugar, 1/4 cup Molasses, 1/2 cup Milk, and 1/4 cup Melted Butter until smooth.
- 4Pour the wet ingredients from the medium bowl into the large bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- 5Pour the batter evenly into the prepared 22.86 × 12.7 cm loaf pan.
- 6Bake for 45 to 50 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- 7Let the cake cool in the loaf pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Then, carefully invert the pan to remove the cake and let it cool completely on the wire rack before slicing and serving.
