- Put the oven rack in the middle position and preheat oven to 350F. For cakes: brush cake pans with canola oil. Line the bottom with parchment paper and then oil the paper.
- Whisk together the flour mix, salt, baking powder, and xanthan gum until combined well.
- Stir together milk & canola oil.
- Beat sugar and eggs in a large mixing bowl at medium speed just until combined, about 1 minute. Reduce speed to low and add flour and milk mixtures alternately in batches, beginning and ending with flour and mixing until just combined.
- Divide batter evenly between cupcake liners or cake pans.
- Bake cupcakes for 20-30 (need to figure out exact time) minutes and cake for 35-40 minutes, until toothpick comes out clean.
