Ingredients

• 120 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 50 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 2 Large eggs
• 120 milliliters Freshly squeezed orange juice
• 1 tablespoon Orange zest
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 120 milliliters Vegetable oil
• 100 grams Semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan with gluten-free flour to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a large bowl, sift together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk the granulated sugar with the eggs until pale and slightly thickened.

Step 4

Stir in the orange juice, orange zest, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil into the sugar and egg mixture until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to ensure a tender cake.

Step 6

Fold in the chocolate chips carefully into the batter using a spatula.

Step 7

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for about 28-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 9

Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.

Step 10

Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Step 11

Garnish with additional orange zest or a dusting of powdered sugar if desired before serving.
