How to Make One Bowl Gluten Free Chocolate Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour (or grease and lightly dust with gluten-free flour blend) a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add the buttermilk, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes.
