Ingredients

• 120 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 45 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 150 grams Dark chocolate
• 110 grams Unsalted butter
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 75 grams Brown sugar
• 3 Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 120 ml Milk (dairy or non-dairy)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease an 8-inch (20cm) round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter over a double boiler or in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth. Allow it to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and the melted chocolate-butter mixture. Whisk well until smooth and glossy.

Step 5

Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking vigorously after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 6

Gradually fold in the dry ingredients in three batches, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing only until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking to keep the cake fudgy.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Serve as is or with a dusting of powdered sugar, a dollop of whipped cream, or fresh berries. Enjoy your fudgy gluten-free chocolate cake!
