Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup Boiling water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round baking pans with gluten-free flour.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, vegetable oil, and pure vanilla extract until well blended.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing on medium speed until well combined.
Carefully stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin, but this is normal.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pans.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then remove them from the pans and cool completely on wire racks.
Frost and assemble the cake as desired once the layers are completely cool. Enjoy your gluten-free classic chocolate cake!
