Gluten Free Chocolate Cake

Gluten Free Chocolate Cake

Ingredients:

• 265g Gluten Free Flour Blend (I am still using Our Compliments by Sobeys)
• 1/2 Teaspoon Xantham Gum
• 50g Coco Powder
• 1 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Powder
• 1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
• 300g Sugar
• 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
• 2 Eggs
• 250ml Milk
• 1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil
• 250ml Boiling Hot Water

Instructions:

1. Pre-heat the oven to 355 ºF (180 ºC) and line one 10 inch round cake pans with parchment.
2. In a large bowl, sift together the gluten free flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, baking soda and cocoa powder.
3. Add the  sugar and salt, and whisk well.
4. Add the eggs, milk and vegetable/sunflower oil. 
5. Whisk well, until you get a smooth cake batter.
6. Add the boiling hot water, and whisk until you get a runny cake batter with no lumps.
7. Evenly distribute the cake batter between the two lined cake pans, and bake in the pre-heated oven at 355 ºF (180 ºC) for about 40 minutes or until spongy to the touch and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
8. Allow cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting to a wire rack to cool completely before decorating.

Enjoy!
