Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups gluten-free flour blend
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- a pinch of salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons espresso powder
- 2 tablespoons hot water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan with gluten-free flour.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups of gluten-free flour blend, 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and a pinch of salt.
- In another bowl, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar with 1/2 cup of softened unsalted butter. Beat them together until light and fluffy. Then, add in 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup of milk. Mix well.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- In a small bowl, dissolve 2 tablespoons of espresso powder in 2 tablespoons of hot water. Add this mixture to the batter and stir until evenly incorporated.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan. Then, mix a couple of tablespoons of cocoa powder with a bit of leftover batter to create a chocolate swirl. Drop spoonfuls of the chocolate mixture on top of the plain batter and use a knife to gently swirl it together.
- Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Keywords: Ensure your eggs and butter are at room temperature for a smoother batter. The espresso powder intensifies the chocolate flavor, so don’t skip it. Start checking your cake a few minutes before the recommended baking time to prevent overbaking. For added indulgence, consider topping your cake with a simple chocolate ganache made from dairy-free chocolate and coconut cream.
