Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk (use non-dairy milk for a dairy-free option)
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Boiling water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 4
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Step 5
Carefully stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin, but this is normal.
Step 6
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Frost and decorate as desired before serving. Enjoy!
