Ingredients

• 75 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 120 milliliters Boiling water
• 150 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 50 grams Almond flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 200 grams Granulated sugar
• 75 grams Brown sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 120 milliliters Vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
• 240 milliliters Buttermilk (or dairy-free alternative)
• 100 grams Dark chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy release.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the unsweetened cocoa powder and boiling water until smooth. Allow it to cool to room temperature.

Step 3

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

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Beat with a whisk or an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Step 5

Stir the cooled cocoa mixture into the wet ingredients until fully incorporated.

Step 6

Alternate adding the dry ingredients and buttermilk into the wet mixture in 3 parts, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix gently until smooth and no lumps remain, but don’t overmix.

Step 7

Fold in the dark chocolate chips with a spatula to distribute them evenly through the batter.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Step 10

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve as is or dust with powdered sugar, frost with your favorite gluten-free frosting, or top with fresh berries for an extra touch.
