Here’s a rich and moist Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake recipe that’s simple and delicious:
🍫 Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake
Ingredients:
Dry:
-
1 ¾ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (with xanthan gum)
-
¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 ½ tsp baking powder

1 ½ tsp baking soda
-
½ tsp salt
Wet:
-
2 large eggs

1 cup milk (or almond milk)
-
½ cup vegetable oil
-
2 tsp vanilla extract
-
1 cup boiling water (or hot coffee for deeper flavor)

🧁 Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch round pans or one 9×13-inch pan.

Whisk dry ingredients in a large bowl: flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
-
In another bowl, beat eggs, sugar, milk, oil, and vanilla until smooth.
-
Gradually add the dry mix into the wet, stirring gently.
-
Slowly pour in hot water or coffee, mixing until batter is smooth (it will be thin — that’s good!).
-
Pour into prepared pan(s).
-
Bake for 30–35 minutes (round pans) or 35–40 minutes (9×13 pan), or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Cool completely before frosting.
