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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Combine Mixtures:
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until smooth and well combined. The batter will be thick.
- 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.
- Bake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- 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.
- 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.
