Gluten-Free Birthday Cake Bread
If you’re thinking, isn’t Gluten-Free Birthday Cake Bread just…cake? The answer would be, sort of 😉 This Birthday Cake Bread is denser than traditional cake, has a secret ingredient that makes it especially flavorful, and as with all of my dessert breads it is gluten-free!

Ingredients
Bread Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon cake batter extract
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 1/3 cup 1:1 gluten-free flour *
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 3–4 tablespoons rainbow sprinkles
Glaze Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
- more sprinkles for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- In a large bowl mix together butter and sugar, then add in egg and cake batter extract. Lastly mix in milk until all wet ingredients fully combined
- In a separate bowl mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix just until combined
- Fold in the sprinkles. Don’t over-mix so the sprinkles don’t bleed
- Transfer batter to a parchment-lined + greased 8½x4½ inch loaf pan and bake for 45-50 minutes**, or until a toothpick comes out clean
- Let cool for at least 60 minutes, the longer the better so it has time to set and not crumble when you slice it
- To make the glaze, whisk powdered sugar and milk until a smooth consistency, adding more milk if needed
- When completely cooled, pour/spread glaze over the bread, then top with more sprinkles
Notes
* Be sure to use a 1:1 gluten-free flour in this recipe. I used this one from Pilsbury, which I found at my local grocery store and I think works best in this recipe.
If you are not gluten-free, simply use regular all-purpose flour, same measurements.
** Using all-purpose flour may cut down baking time. Check it around 40 minutes, it’s done baking when a toothpick comes out clean
Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days
