Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 1/2 cups gluten free flour with xanthan gum
  • 1 1/4 cups cocoa powder
  • 2 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups milk (I used unsweetened almond)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 1 tbsp vanilla
  • 1 cup salted butter ( I love Kerrygold)
  • 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar (more or less to taste)
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tbsp heavy cream

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and place rack in center of oven.  Spray two 8 x 2 inch round pans with cooking spray and cut out parchment paper circles.  Place inside pans and spray parchment paper.
  • In a stand mixer add eggs, oil, milk, water and vanilla. Mix well.  Add flour, cocoa, sugar and salt and continue to mix, scraping down the sides often.
  • Pour into prepared pans and drop gently on counter to release any bubbles.  Bake for about 30-40 minutes.  Check by inserting a toothpick in center.  It is done when toothpick comes out clean.
  • Cool completely for several hours before frosting.
