Cooking the BEST Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake
It's as simple as it gets to make this 1-BOWL gluten-free chocolate cake: Simply mix the dry ingredients, whisk in the wet, pour the mixture into your cake pan, and bake!
Let's talk about the ingredients now, starting with the top-secret gluten-free flour mix, which makes it all possible. This cake's all-star trio of almond flour, potato starch, and tapioca starch creates the ideal crumb texture and makes it light and fluffy.
Other dry ingredients include cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, sea salt, flaxseed meal, and xanthan gum for binding, as well as coconut sugar to keep the cake naturally sweet. You only need three wet ingredients: water, an oil with no flavor (we like avocado oil), and vanilla extract. The cake batter is ready.)

1 cup of almond flour, preferably Wellbee's
1 cup of sifted coconut sugar (we like Supernatural)
NOT potato flour, but 1/2 cup of potato starch
Cocoa powder, 1/3 cup, sifted if clumpy
Tapioca flour, often known as tapioca starch, 1/4 cup
3 tablespoons of ground flaxseed (flaxseed meal)
Baking powder, 1 teaspoon
Baking soda, 3/4 teaspoon
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Xanthan gum, 1/4 teaspoon
2/3 cup of water
1/4 cup of avocado oil (or another oil with no flavor, like refined coconut oil)
Vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon
Instructions
A standard-size muffin tin should be lined with paper liners and lightly greased with oil to fit an 8-inch round cake pan. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (176 degrees C). Place aside.
The dry ingredients (almond flour, coconut sugar, potato starch, cocoa powder, tapioca starch, flaxseed meal, baking powder, baking soda, sea salt, and xanthan gum) should be combined in a medium mixing bowl. To blend, whisk thoroughly.
Add the water, oil, and vanilla essence after that. Till no flour streaks are visible, thoroughly whisk. Put the batter in the baking pan you have prepared.
Place the prepared baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 28–32 minutes (for an 8–inch cake) or 18–20 minutes (for cupcakes), or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out largely clean (with only a few crumbs).
Let the cake to cool for ten minutes in the pan. Run a dull knife around the edge of the cake pan to loosen the cake before removing it. Next, immediately invert the container while adding a plate or cooling rack on top. Before frosting and serving, let the cake cool completely (about an hour).
This cake goes nicely with our chocolate avocado frosting, coconut whipped cream, vegan strawberry frosting, fluffy vegan peanut butter frosting, and vegan chocolate ganache frosting.
The leftovers can be kept in the refrigerated for 4-5 days, the freezer for a month, or at room temperature for up to 2-3 days. One can bake a cake ahead of time and freeze it unfrosted. Before serving, allow it completely thaw at room temperature.
Notes
The cake won't be as moist and will be more crumbly if you decide to leave the xanthan gum out. Reduce baking time to 20–25 minutes if using three 6-inch pans.The texture of this cake, in our opinion, is at its best when eaten within 24 to 48 hours. Keep in mind that potato starch tends to be a little drying when preparing days in advance for an event or special occasion. To make it more moist, you can cut the potato starch down to 1/3 cup, but it becomes a little more fragile and less fluffy.

30 minutes for preparation,
55 minutes for cooking,
1 hour 25 minutes in total,
one 9-inch cake made;
dessert; holiday;
Method: baking
INGREDIENTS
188 grams or 1 1/2 cups universal flour
one teaspoon of baking powder
half a teaspoon optional ground coriander
3/4 of a teaspoon of kosher salt
Baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon
1 stick of unsalted butter, half a cup, at room temperature
granulated sugar, 2/3 cup
2 large eggs, room temperature
Vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon
3/4 cup of room temperature sour cream
5-6 small to medium-sized, pitted and halfed purple plumes that are hard but ripe.
about 1/2 cup of lemon curd
For serving whipped cream that has been lightly sweetened
INSTRUCTIONS
Oven should be preheated to 350 degrees F. Place a rack in the upper third of the oven. The bottom of a 9-inch round baking pan (or springform pan) should be lined with a circle of parchment paper, which should also be greased. Flour the pan lightly and shake off any excess flour.
Flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and coriander, if using, should be combined in a small bowl. Set apart.
Butter and sugar should be mixed on medium speed for 3 to 5 minutes or until light and fluffy in a large bowl using electric hand beaters or the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment. Add the eggs one at a time, beating for 1 minute after each addition. Vanilla extract should be beaten in.
To make sure everything is fully mixed, halt the mixer and scrape down the bowl's sides. On medium speed, blend in the sour cream.
Mixer on low, add dry ingredients, and mix just until incorporated. After stopping the mixer, thoroughly incorporate the batter. There will be a lot of batter.
Fill the bottom of the prepared pan with half of the cake batter. The best tool for spreading the batter is an offset spatula. Place 10 to 12 plum halves on top of the batter, cut side down. Utilizing the offset spatula, spread the remaining batter over the plums in a uniform layer. Swirl just a little while adding large dollops of lemon curd.
Bake until the cake's sides are beginning to pull away from the pan and are deeply brown. The cake will come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs when a toothpick is placed into it. At 50–55 minutes, this cake takes a while to bake. Halfway through baking, turn the pan. Before attempting to invert the cake, take it out of the oven and let it cool for 20 to 30 minutes.
To remove the cake from the pan, run a knife around the inside edge of the pan. Invert the cake onto a flat platter over the pan. Gently invert the cake top side up after removing the parchment round.
Serve warm or at room temperature with black coffee or tea and gently sweetened cream. Cake keeps for up to 4 days when wrapped and stored in the fridge
