Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour (make sure it includes xanthan gum)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (coconut sugar works too)
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp white or apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
Optional Ingredients
  • Dairy-free chocolate chips (for extra chocolatey goodness)
  • Chopped nuts (like walnuts or pecans for added texture)
  • Vanilla frosting (if you want to jazz it up a bit)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a standard 9-inch cake pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well combined.
  3. Create a well in the center of your dry ingredients. Pour in the vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and vinegar, and mix to add flavor and help with the cake's rise.
  4. Slowly add the almond milk while continuously stirring to create a smooth batter.
  5. Fold in the optional dairy-free chocolate chips or nuts if desired.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
  2. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
