Chocolate Cake
Makes 8 slices
(eggs, fish, gluten, milk, peanuts, shellfish, soy, tree nuts and wheat free)
For the cake you will need:
2 cups pure cane sugar
1 ¾ cup of your favorite all-purpose gluten-free flour * (see note)
¾ cup cocoa powder
1 ½ tsp. Rumford baking powder
1 ½ tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. kosher salt
3 tsp. Ener-G egg Replacer whisked with 4 tbsp. warm water
1 cup rice milk, or soy milk
½ cup sunflower oil or grape seed oil
2 tsp. vanilla extract (can be omitted if allergic)
1 cup very hot water
Preheat oven to 350° F.
Add all dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl and mix thoroughly with a wire whisk.
Add the egg replacer, vanilla extract, oil, and milk into the bowl, and stir to combine well. Slowly and carefully stir in the hot water until a very thin, smooth batter is achieved.
Pour the mix into two greased 9-inch round cake pans. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes in pans before transferring to a cooling rack.
