6. Stir in the hot water until batter is smooth and pour into prepared cake pan.
7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Verdict:

This gluten-free chocolate cake is perfect for those who are sensitive to gluten or simply looking for a healthier dessert option. The combination of almond flour and gluten-free all-purpose flour creates a dense but moist texture that pairs perfectly with the rich chocolate flavor. We recommend frosting the cake with a simple vanilla buttercream or cream cheese frosting for a perfectly balanced dessert.

Serving Suggestions:

• Dust the top of the cake with cocoa powder for a classic look.
• Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream to make it the ultimate indulgence.
• Top with fresh berries for a pop of color and a tart contrast to the sweetness of the cake.
