What girl doesn’t love chocolate cake? OK my daughter doesn’t but I think there’s something wrong with her! 😉 I was looking for something to do the other night so I went looking through my recipes for something to make. My eye went straight to chocolate cake. Why yes! I’d love some chocolate cake! Glance through the recipe. Yup. I have all that stuff. Let’s make cake!
Whether you’re newly gluten free or have been doing this a while, you know that sometimes the breads and cakes can be a little grainy in texture. This cake is as smooth as silk, as is the frosting. Well what are we waiting for? Here’s the recipe:
Cake:
1 1/2 cups Pamela’s Baking Mix
1 cup sugar (I used Splenda…48 packets to be exact)
8 Tbsp cocoa powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup oil (you can also use half oil half applesauce to cut some more calories)
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup water
Preheat oven to 350. Mix all ingredients together until there are no lumps. Pour into a greased 8×8-inch pan and bake for 25-30 min, or fill muffin cups 2/3 full and bake for 20 minutes.
Frosting:
4 Tbsp softened butter
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/6 cup water
Beat ingredients together till mixed and frost on cooled cake
The actual frosting recipe is double what I have here but it made an awful lot of frosting. Feel free to double this if you want more frosting. I’ll never know! 😉
Enjoy
