Ingredients

• 150 grams Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
• 50 grams Cocoa Powder
• 200 grams Granulated Sugar
• 100 grams Brown Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking Soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 115 grams Unsalted Butter
• 120 milliliters Water
• 120 milliliters Buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 2 large Eggs
• 100 grams Gluten-Free Dark Chocolate Chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until thoroughly combined.

Step 3

In a saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, add the water and whisk to combine. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, mix together the buttermilk and vanilla extract. Beat in the eggs one at a time until well blended.

Step 5

Gradually add the butter mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously with a whisk or spatula until the batter is smooth and well combined.

Step 6

Stir in the buttermilk mixture until the batter is uniform. Gently fold in the gluten-free dark chocolate chips.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out with a few moist crumbs clinging to it.

Step 9

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve dusted with cocoa powder or top with your favorite gluten-free frosting.
