3 teaspoons xanthan gum -
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans using a gluten free flour of your choice. Tapioca is what I use.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, shortening, baking powder, sugar, salt and extracts until fluffy and light. Add the egg whites to the butter mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition.
