Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 50 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 4 Large eggs, at room temperature
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 60 milliliters Vegetable oil
- 120 milliliters Milk
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round baking pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, sift together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until they become thick and pale. Gradually add the sugar while whisking on high speed until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add the vanilla extract to the egg mixture and mix until combined.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the batter.
Add the vegetable oil and milk, gently folding them into the batter until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
