Be guilt free!

Ingredients:​

• 1 cup gluten-free flour blend (make sure it includes xanthan gum, or add 1/2 teaspoon if not included)
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (or melted coconut oil for dairy-free option)
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt for dairy-free option)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup hot coffee or hot water

Instructions:​

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
   • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, almond flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients:
   • In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter (or coconut oil), Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt), eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Combine Mixtures:
   • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until smooth and well combined. The batter will be thick.
5. Add Coffee (or Water):
   • Gradually add the hot coffee or hot water to the batter, stirring until the batter becomes thinner and smooth. This helps bring out the chocolate flavor.
6. Bake:
   • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
8. Cool and Serve:
   • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Frosting (Optional):
   • You can frost the cake with your favorite gluten-free frosting, such as chocolate ganache, cream cheese frosting (using a gluten-free cream cheese), or a simple dusting of powdered sugar.

Enjoy this delicious gluten-free chocolate cake as a treat for any occasion!
