Ingredients

You don’t need fancy stuff — just these basics!

• 2 cups 1:1 gluten-free flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa or cacao powder
• 2 cups sugar

Directions

Follow these simple steps to create chocolate magic:

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F and generously spray two round cake pans with non-stick spray.
2. In a bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cocoa powder until combined.
3. In another large bowl, mix together the sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, careful not to over-mix. We want a delicate batter!

How to Make Famous Gluten Free Chocolate Cake (Overview)

Making this cake is as straightforward as a Saturday morning cartoon binge! Start by mixing the dry and wet ingredients separately, then combine. The key? Don’t over-mix; you want that cake to be light and fluffy. Remember, this cake will thank you for that bit of patience. And if you’re feeling adventurous, throw in some chocolate chips or nuts—your cake, your rules! 😉

How to Serve Famous Gluten Free Chocolate Cake

Once your cake has fully cooled, slice it into those generous, chocolatey pieces. Consider serving it with a drizzle of warm chocolate sauce, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or even a dollop of whipped cream. The rich, dark color of the cake against the white cream creates a mouthwatering contrast, and the aroma? Absolutely divine. 😍

How to Store Famous Gluten Free Chocolate Cake

This cake can keep well in the fridge for about 5 days—just be sure to cover it so it doesn’t dry out. If you want to stash it away for later, it also freezes beautifully for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy, simply let it thaw in the fridge overnight, or pop it in the microwave for quick reheating.
