NOTES
A note about the number of eggs. You may need 4 or 5 eggs. The important part is to measure out 9
ounces of eggs, by weight. Just beat together 4 eggs and, if you need more, beat a 5th egg
separately and add only as much as necessary to reach 9 ounces, by weight.

A note about the gf flour blend.I really like this recipe even better when it’s made with gluten free
cake flour, which is a blend of 82% all purpose gluten free flour + 18% cornstarch. In this recipe, that
would be 180 grams all purpose gluten free flour + 40 grams cornstarch.

This recipe was originally published on the blog in 2013. Photos updated to showcase the true beauty
of this gluten free pound cake, and the recipe modified just a bit in 2015. A lot of text added in 2022.
