Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
-
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently to combine. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
-
Slowly pour in the hot water while stirring the batter. The batter will be thin, but this is normal.
-
Fold in the mini chocolate chips and chopped nuts, if using. These will be the surprise elements that make this cake extra special.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Once the cake has cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted chocolate for an extra touch of sweetness.
-
Slice the Chocolate Surprise Cake and enjoy the delightful surprise of hidden chocolate chips and nuts with every bite!
