1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
12 tablespoons unsalted butter (at room temperature)

1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (plus more at room temperature)

Directions

Time to get baking! Just follow these easy steps:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your bundt pan with grease or flour to prevent sticking.
In a bowl, mix the dry ingredients: gluten-free flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, salt, and xanthan gum.
In another bowl, cream the butter and sugar until it’s fluffy and light.
Beat in the eggs and vanilla until well combined.
Mix in the melted chocolate to your butter mixture.
Gradually stir in the hot water, mixing until smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for about 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
For the glaze, melt the chocolate and cream together until it’s silky smooth.
Once the cake has cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top before slicing and serving.

Tips to Make Chocolate Gluten Free Bundt Cake

Here are a few insider tricks to elevate your baking game:

Check Your Flour: Not all gluten-free flour blends are created equal. Make sure your blend has xanthan gum for the best texture.
Room Temperature Ingredients: Bring your eggs and milk to room temperature for a smoother batter. It helps to ensure an even bake!
Don’t Rush the Cooling: Patience is key, my friend! Let the cake cool in the pan for a bit before flipping it out—less chance of it breaking.

Variation

Want to mix things up? Try adding a swirl of peanut butter or cream cheese to the batter for a delightful surprise. Or go full-on vegan by substituting the eggs with flax eggs and using plant-based butter. You’ll have a cake that accommodates everyone!
