This classic gluten free vanilla sheet cake is the (nearly) one bowl, super simple vanilla cake with an amazingly tender crumb. It's perfect for any celebration but doesn't look like you went overboard.

Can this recipe be doubled?
Hi, Karen, you can double the ingredients and bake it in two separate pans by dividing the batter equally. But that’s a lot of batter, and you run the risk of not properly mixing everything together. I’d recommend making the whole recipe twice in two different mixing bowls
Hello, would the cake be stable enough after it cools to double it? To make a double layered sheet cake? I’m trying to make a cake big enough for 12 adults + 2 kids for a bday party
Yes, it’s a very stable cake, so I wouldn’t worry about that. My much lighter crumb vanilla cake has been made into a wedding cake many, many times, so this one can certainly handle it.
Can you use round cake pans instead?
You’d have to convert the amount of cake to accommodate round cake pans, Debbie. Instead, I’d recommend using our classic gluten free vanilla cake recipe, which is already developed to be made in 2 round cake pans.
I shall definitely make this today. Very seldom have cake, but I shall look forward to this one.
