Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 50 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 Large eggs
- 120 milliliters Freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 120 milliliters Vegetable oil
- 100 grams Semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan with gluten-free flour to prevent sticking.
In a large bowl, sift together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, whisk the granulated sugar with the eggs until pale and slightly thickened.
Stir in the orange juice, orange zest, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil into the sugar and egg mixture until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to ensure a tender cake.
Fold in the chocolate chips carefully into the batter using a spatula.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 28-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Garnish with additional orange zest or a dusting of powdered sugar if desired before serving.
