🌟 Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake

🍫 Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar

  • ½ cup (100g) brown sugar

  • ¾ cup (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 1 ½ cups (180g) gluten-free all-purpose flour (with xanthan gum, or add 1 tsp separately)

  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder

  • 1 ½ tsp baking soda

  • ½ tsp salt

  • 2 large eggs

  • ¾ cup (180ml) milk (or dairy-free alternative)

  • ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil

  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

  • ¾ cup (180ml) boiling water or hot coffee (for deeper flavor)

🍰 Optional Frosting:

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch cake pans.

  3. Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.

  4. Slowly stir in the hot water or coffee (batter will be thin—this is normal).

  5. Divide batter evenly between the pans.

  6. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

  7. Let cool completely before frosting.

🎂 Chocolate Frosting (Optional):

  1. Beat butter until fluffy.
