Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2.5 cups all-purpose gluten-free flour blend
  • 3/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Wet Ingredients
  • 12 tablespoons unsalted butter (at room temperature)
  • 1.75 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 pieces eggs (at room temperature)
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup hot water
  • 4 ounces semisweet or dark baking chocolate (melted)
  • 1 cup milk (at room temperature)
Glaze Ingredients
  • 4 ounces semisweet or dark baking chocolate (for glaze)
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (plus more at room temperature)

Method
 

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

Notes

Letting the cake cool before glazing ensures a smooth finish. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
