Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • cups gluten free flour blend
  • 1 cup granulated white sugar
  • 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup brewed coffee or water

Frosting

  • 1 jar chocolate frosting or favorite frosting

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350° F.
  • In an ungreased glass or ceramic 8-inch square pan (do not use metal), add the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt, and stir to combine with a fork.
  • Make three wells in the mixture and to those wells add the vinegar, vanilla extract and vegetable oil. Pour the coffee over the entire mixture and mix with a fork until thoroughly combined and no dry ingredients remain.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30-35 minutes. Cool completely before frosting.
  • To make frosting easy to spread and deliciously fluffy, scoop into mixer fitted with the paddle or whisk attachment. Whisk on medium until lightened in color and fluffy.
  • Using a spatula, spread frosting over cake (it will create a thick layer). Enjoy!
