GF Chocolate Cake

Ingredients

265g GF flour
50g cocoa powder
1/2 t xanthan gum
1 1/2 t baking soda
1 1/2 t baking powder
1/2 t salt
300g sugar

1 cup warm milk
2 eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup boiling water

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350' and line two round cake pans with parchment. Whisk together dry ingredients in a large bowl. In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, and oil until well-blended; whisk into dry ingredients. Whisk in boiling water until well blended, and pour evenly into cake pans. Bake for 30 minutes and check for doneness; may need 5-10 more minutes.

Prepare the frosting: beat 3 sticks of butter in Mixmaster until light and fluffy. Meanwhile, whisk together 250g powdered sugar, 75g cocoa powder, and a pinch of table salt. Add dry ingredients to butter and continue beating until evenly distributed in buttercream. Melt 150g dark chocolate and beat in to frosting. Assemble cake and enjoy!
