Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare your muffin tin or individual cake molds by greasing them with cooking spray or butter. Set aside.
-
In a medium bowl, sift together the gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
-
In a separate large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
-
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Slowly add half of the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, followed by the buttermilk. Mix until just combined.
-
Add the remaining dry ingredients and mix until fully incorporated. The batter will be thick at this stage.
-
Pour in the hot water slowly, stirring continuously until the batter is smooth and well-mixed. The batter will be thin, and that's perfectly fine.
-
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin tin or individual cake molds, filling each about 2/3 full.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean.
-
Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
-
Carefully transfer the cakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
If desired, dust the tops with powdered sugar or cocoa powder before serving.
-
Serve these delightful Gluten-Free Chocolate Cakes on their own or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of your favorite ice cream for an extra special treat.
