How to Make the BEST Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake
Making this 1-BOWL gluten-free chocolate cake is about as simple as it gets: Just mix together the dry ingredients, whisk in the wet, pour into your cake pan, and bake! Now, let’s talk about the ingredients that make it all possible, starting with the secret gluten-free flour blend! Almond flour, potato starch, and tapioca starch are the all-star trio that makes this cake light and fluffy with the perfect crumb texture! You can learn about what each of these flours does here. The other dry ingredients include coconut sugar to keep it naturally sweetened, flaxseed meal and xanthan gum for binding, and chocolate cake classics including cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and sea salt. For the wet ingredients, you’ll need just three: water, a neutral-flavored oil (we like avocado oil), and vanilla extract. Cake batter awaits! After baking and cooling to let the texture reach its peak potential, we enter frosting land! Your options are endless, but our top pick? Vegan Chocolate Ganache Frosting! It’s super chocolaty, elegant, and luxurious yet surprisingly simple to make! This chocolate cake is a total WINNER!
