Avoid paying $$$ for a gluten-free cake mix and make your own with pantry ingredients.
PrintGluten Free Easy Chocolate Cake
Ingredients
1/2 cup canola oil
1 3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cup gluten-free flour blend (1:1 all-purpose baking flour works well here)
3/4 cup cocoa powder
1 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/3 cup hot water
Instructions
Heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Mix oil and sugar in a medium-sized bowl. Add eggs and vanilla.
Combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Add alternately with water to the oil and egg mixture. Stir until the batter is smooth and glossy.
Cover the bowl and let it sit for 30 minutes. You may have heard of “blooming the cocoa”, a process that brings out the full flavor of the cocoa.
Pour the batter into 2 coated 9-inch pans or one 9 x 13-inch pan. Place in a heated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. Remove the cake from the oven if it springs back after being lightly pressed in the center. Allow the cake to cool and top with your favorite frosting. I like a powdered sugar frosting with cocoa powder and no eggs.
