Can I make this recipe gluten-free?

Yes. Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend that contains xanthan gum. Follow the recipe the same way. Watch the texture; it may feel slightly different but should bake well. Test for doneness with a toothpick. If the center seems moist, add a few extra minutes.

Can I reduce the sugar?

Yes. You can lower the sugar to 3/4 cup for a less sweet version. The cake will be slightly less browned. If you use honey or maple syrup instead, reduce the milk by a tablespoon or two to keep the batter balanced.

How do I know when the cake is done?

Insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, the cake is done. If wet batter clings to the toothpick, bake a few more minutes. Ovens vary, so trust the toothpick test over time alone.
