Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 75 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 120 milliliters Boiling water
- 150 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 50 grams Almond flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 75 grams Brown sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 120 milliliters Vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 240 milliliters Buttermilk (or dairy-free alternative)
- 100 grams Dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy release.
In a small bowl, whisk together the unsweetened cocoa powder and boiling water until smooth. Allow it to cool to room temperature.
In a medium bowl, sift together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Beat with a whisk or an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Stir the cooled cocoa mixture into the wet ingredients until fully incorporated.
Alternate adding the dry ingredients and buttermilk into the wet mixture in 3 parts, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix gently until smooth and no lumps remain, but don’t overmix.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips with a spatula to distribute them evenly through the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and level the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
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.
Serve as is or dust with powdered sugar, frost with your favorite gluten-free frosting, or top with fresh berries for an extra touch.
