Gluten Free Chocolate Cake

This Gluten Free Chocolate Cake recipe is not only gluten free, it’s dairy free.  Try it as cupcakes.

Gluten Free Chocolate Cupcake made with the recipe for Gluten Free Chocolate Cake

Gluten Free Chocolate Cake (Nondairy)

Hi. It’s Lois at Recipe Idea Shop, telling you about my best gluten free chocolate cake yet! Not only is it gluten free, but it’s almost vegan (it contains eggs). If you want to make it vegan, you can substitute ground flaxseed and water for eggs. I like it best baked as cupcakes, which you can easily frost and freeze for later.

I must admit, I didn’t make the Chocolate Frosting vegan or dairy free. I’ll try that next time. I do love my butter.

Check out the recipe.

These Gluten Free Chocolate Cupcakes are so moist and tasty. The texture is perfect. No one will even know they are gluten free. But be sure to tell people they are gluten free (and vegan if you make them without eggs); that way you will have more for yourself! People are so used to thinking that gluten free or gluten free + vegan = yuck. You won’t have to fight over these amazing cupcakes if you let everyone know what they really are. 🙂

Gluten Free Chocolate Cake (Cupcakes) —the best so far! Moist, delicious and nondairy.

I based this recipe on My Favorite Chocolate Cake, and that recipe came from one of those spiral bound cookbooks to which everyone contributes a recipe. The recipes were collected by the Disabled American Veterans in Waukesha, Wisconsin. Every recipe I have ever made from this cookbook has been to-die-for good.

It’s hard not to eat just one of these scrumptious cupcakes. Trust me, you’re gonna wanna eat these cupcakes. You will need gluten free flour for this recipe. I find the best price is on Amazon.

This flour is light tasting and you can substitute is cup for cup for wheat flour. Buy it on Amazon.

This a good, all purpose flour that has a little heavier texture, similar to Bisquick. Buy your Gluten Free All Purpose Baking Flour on Amazon.

• 1 cup Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free All Purpose Flour
• 1 cup Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour
• 2-1/4 teaspoons soda

4. Boil the water and add to the mixture.
5. Mix well and pour into two 12-cupcake pans lined with cupcake liners (or 3 greased round cake pans or one 13" x 9" cake pan).
6. Bake in a 350F degree oven for 20 minutes for cupcakes or round pans; 25 to 30 minutes for an oblong cake pan or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. (Err on the side of undercooking instead of cooking too long. Don't overbake or it will be dry.)
