Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 units Large eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Boiling water
- 2 cups Gluten-free chocolate frosting
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans with gluten-free all-purpose flour.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.
Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth.
Stir in the boiling water until the batter is well combined (the batter will be thin).
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, remove from the pans and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cakes are cooled, place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of gluten-free chocolate frosting on top.
Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake.
Decorate as desired and serve to enjoy your gluten-free chocolate birthday cake.
