Ingredients for Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake:
- 110g Dark Chocolate or Semi-Sweet Chocolate
- 65g Butter
- 120g Granulated Sugar
- 65g Gluten-Free Flour
- 40g Cocoa Powder
- 118g Milk (room temperature, vegan or dairy)
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Baking Powder
Method:
- Preheat your oven to 330°F (165°C). Prepare a 6-inch bottomless cake ring by lining it with baking paper and securing with aluminum foil.
- Melt the chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water or in a microwave. Ensure the mixture remains warm and liquid.
- Pour the warm chocolate-butter mixture into a mixing bowl. Add room temperature milk and stir until well combined.
- Sift together the gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt directly into the bowl with the chocolate mixture. Fold everything together gently using a spatula or a whisk until just combined.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared cake ring. Bake for 20-22 minutes at 330°F (165°C).
- After baking, allow the cake to cool completely before proceeding to the chocolate cream layer.
For the Milk Chocolate Layer:
- 150g Milk Chocolate
- 75g Heavy Cream
- Heat the heavy cream until it begins to boil. Then pour it over the milk chocolate pieces.
- Stir until the chocolate is fully melted, creating a smooth and glossy cream. Allow this mixture to cool for about 10 minutes.
- Pour the milk chocolate layer over the cooled cake. Refrigerate overnight to set.
Finishing Touches:
- 200g Whipped Cream (for the next day)
- Cocoa Powder for dusting
- The following day, layer the top with whipped cream and return to the freezer to set overnight.
- Once set, carefully remove the cake from the ring.
- Dust the top with cocoa powder for a sophisticated finish.
- Serve and enjoy your slice of chocolate heaven!
