Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a standing mixer, whisk butter and sugar until light and airy. Approximately 3-5 minutes, stopping at 2 minutes to scrap down the sides.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, egg whites, sour cream, milk and vanilla.
In a third bowl, whisk together the GF flour, baking powder, baking soda, potato starch, guar gum and salt.
Set the mixer to medium/low speed, and alternate adding the wet and dry ingredients to the butter and sugar mixture, starting and ending with the wet ingredients.
Once combined, turn off the mixer. The batter will be smooth and thick.
Use the angled icing spatula to smooth the batter into a flat layer in the sheet cake pan.
Pop the sheet pan into the oven and prep your frosting while you wait for this beauty to bake! Bake for 20-25 minutes. When the cake is a golden brown, and you can insert a toothpick into the middle with only crumbs sticking to it – they are ready!
Let cakes cool for 30 minutes before using the biscuit cutters to make the rounds. I use the two middle sizes in this biscuit cutter set. Cut out an even amount of each size. Place the rounds on a cooling rack. They must be completely cool before adding to mason jars!
