The easiest way to make The Best Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake with a special everyday ingredient that makes it moist and so delicious!!
Ok ..... I can't rave about this Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake enough! It really is The Best Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake!!
This cake is moist, full of chocolate flavour, only uses one bowl for the cake mixture (love that) and so easy to make...
only 5 really easy steps!
After a little experimenting, I have created the gluten-free chocolate cake that you can whip up quickly when friends or family are coming around or you need to take it for a get-together. It doesn't take long to cook (no waiting around for 50 minutes for this to cook ...only 25 minutes!) AND it stays moist! Yes, I know that gluten-free cakes often don't taste as great the next day...but this one does!! 🙂
So what is the 'special everyday ingredient' I hear you ask??
1 cup of black coffee
yes....
black coffee!!
(I used a decaffeinated one but you could use whatever flavour or strength of coffee you like.)
The coffee gives the gluten-free chocolate cake a full-bodied flavour - without the taste of coffee!
(If you would like a stronger taste of coffee in the cake, simply use a stronger coffee.)
This gluten-free cake recipe uses coconut flour and some almond meal/flour - so no need to worry about gluten-free flour mixes. It is topped with whipped cream with a hint of honey that just goes so well with this chocolate cake.
So here are the easy 5 steps!
