The secret to getting all that yummy flavor sans gluten? Using both vanilla extract and vanilla bean paste in the batter. (Hey, we call it the “very vanilla” cake for a reason!)

We already talked about how oil helps keep gluten-free baked goods nice and moist. But this recipe takes it up a notch by using coconut oil, which melts super quickly (making it easy to bake with) and offers up the richness of butter.
5. Cookie Monster

Sharing is caring, especially when dishing out slices of cookie cake! Pro tip: add shortening to the batter to make sure it bakes up soft and is easy to cut into.
