How to adjust this pistachio cake recipe to make it GF friendly

I want to recreate this pistachio cake and make it GF so coeliac family members dont feel left out

I want to use ‘ FREEE foods gluten free self raising flour’ as it has xantham gum naturally inside it

But how would i adjust the recipe as the recipe states plain flour hence the adding of the baking powder and bicarbonate of soda

Do i not add in any baking powder now or adjust?

Do i tweak anything else

This is the recipe i want to follow

Pistachio Cake

▢ 1¼ cups (175 g) pistachios - raw, unsalted

▢ 2⅓ cups (300 g) flour - regular all purpose (see note 1 if you want to use cake flour)

▢ ¼ cup (25 g) cornstarch

▢ ½ tsp baking soda

▢ 1 tsp baking powder

▢ ½ tsp salt - omit if using salted butter

▢ ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter - room temperature

▢ ½ cup (105 g) unflavoured vegetable oil - I use canola

▢ 1⅔ cups (332 g) white granulated sugar

▢ 3 large eggs - room temperature

▢ 1 tbsp vanilla extract/essence

▢ ½ tsp almond extract/essence

▢ 1 tsp white vinegar

▢ 1½ cups (336 g) buttermilk - room temperature, see note 5 if using a homemade buttermilk substitute

▢ Few drops green food coloring (optional) - gel and liquid are both fine as you only use a small amount
