Ingredients
  

  • 1 cups sugar
  • 1 3/4 cups gluten-free all-purpose baking mix Check my GF Mix flour recipe
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water

Instructions
 

  • Preheat Oven: Heat oven to 350°F. Grease two 9-inch round baking pans and dust with cocoa powder.
  • Prepare Batter: In a large bowl, stir together sugar, gluten-free baking mix, cocoa, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla; beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in boiling water (batter will be thin). Pour into prepared pans.
  • Bake: Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks. Cool completely before frosting with “Perfectly Chocolate” Chocolate Frosting.

Garnish:

  • Add your choice of garnish, such as chocolate shavings, fresh berries, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.

Notes

  • Make sure your gluten-free baking mix contains xanthan gum for better texture.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting to avoid melting the frosting.
  • Customize the garnish with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, nuts, or chocolate curls.
