Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ¾ cups gluten free all-purpose flour blend
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ cup hot brewed coffee or hot water

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round pan and line bottom with parchment. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour blend, cocoa, both sugars, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. Add the oil, buttermilk, vanilla, and eggs to the dry ingredients. Whisk until smooth and glossy.
  3. Slowly stir in the hot coffee or water, whisking until the batter loosens to a silky, pourable consistency.
  4. Pour into the prepared pan and bake 32 to 35 minutes, until the top springs back and a toothpick has moist crumbs.
  5. Cool in the pan 10 minutes, then turn out onto a rack, remove parchment, and cool completely before slicing.

Notes

If you don’t have buttermilk, stir 1 tablespoon lemon juice or white vinegar into a 1-cup measure, top with milk to the line, and let it sit 5 minutes. This cake tastes even richer on day two after the flavors settle.
