Yum. This cake looks delish.

And it doesn't even sound that difficult to make.

Simply the best Gluten Free Chocolate Cake

INGREDIENTS

2 cups + 2 TBS., Casein-Free, Gluten-Free Flour
2 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup Dutch-process cocoa (we use dark chocolate)
2 teaspoons Baking Powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
4 large eggs
3/4 cup canola oil
2 teaspoon vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 8 inch round cake pans.
Stir together the dry ingredients.
Add the eggs, oil, vanilla, and water. Mix on low speed just until blended, scraping the sides of the bowl in the beginning. Pour the batter into prepared pans and bake for 35 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool cakes in the pans for 15 minutes then turn out and cool completely on a wire rack.
