Description
A delicious gluten free chocolate bundt cake that is moist and rich.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup butter (melted)
- 1/2 cup oil
- 2 cups white sugar
- 4 eggs (room temperature)
- 4 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk (room temperature)
- 3 cups gluten free all purpose baking flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/3 cup boiling water
- 4 ounces semi sweet chocolate (melted)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons hot water
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 Fahrenheit.
- Grease and lightly flour a 12 cup or 10 inch bundt pan and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter, oil and sugar with an electric mixer.
- Add in the eggs, vanilla and milk and beat until smooth.
- Beat in the flour, baking powder and salt. Be sure to spoon and level the flour and don’t scoop straight from the bag.
- Scoop out 2 1/3 cups of batter and add to a second bowl.
- Melt the 4 ounces of chocolate (ounces by weight) in a small dish in 30 second intervals, stirring between each.
- Add to the second bowl with the boiling water and cocoa.
- Beat until well combined. This batter will be slightly thicker.
- Use two spoons or cookie scoops to scoop the batter into the prepared cake pan in any kind of pattern you like. I usually just alternate between the two but avoid swirling because I like more defined colors.
- Bake for 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for about 20 minutes. The top (what will be the bottom) will dome a bit (depending on the exact shape of your pan) so it’s helpful to use a sharp knife or cake leveler to level this off.
- Carefully flip onto a cake stand or wire rack to finish cooling.
- Once the cake has cooled, whisk together all ingredients for the glaze and pour on top. If the glaze is too thick, just add more water; too thin add more sugar. Enjoy!
Notes
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best results.
