Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake
This scrumptious gluten-free chocolate cake is made with the finest ingredients to create a dessert that everyone will enjoy, whether they follow a gluten-free diet or not. Let’s get started!
Ingredients:
- 1 ¾ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk (or dairy-free alternative)
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two round 9-inch cake pans with gluten-free flour.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.
- Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth.
- Gradually stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin, but that’s okay—it helps make the cake moist!
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
- After the cakes have cooled, frost with your favorite gluten-free chocolate icing or enjoy plain with a dusting of powdered sugar.
