One-dish chocolate cake {gluten-free, vegan}

Gluten-free vegan baking really frustrates me.

I’m trying to bake more but it’s always hard to predict what the outcome will be when you’re making it up as you go along. Sometimes I feel you need a degree in Chemistry to get it right.

But I’ve made progress. I’ve created a light and airy chocolate cake that’s chocolatey but not too chocolatey. And if you have a decent-sized Pyrex dish, you can mix it and cook it in the same dish without needing to grease it.

One-dish chocolate cake {gluten-free, vegan}
Makes an 8 x 10 inch cake

2 c all-purpose gluten-free flour
1 c coconut sugar
1/2 c cacao powder
1 tbsp chickpea miso powder (I use Meru Miso)
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp xanthan gum
Pinch of salt
2 c filtered water
1/3 c coconut oil
1 tbsp distilled white vinegar

Preheat oven to 180 degrees C.

Add dry ingredients to an 8 x 10 inch Pyrex dish. Mix to evenly combine.

Then add water, coconut oil and vinegar. Mix to combine so no dry bits remain.

Place in the oven and cook for around 20-30 minutes, until a skewer comes out clean.

Leave cake to cool slightly in the Pyrex dish, then run a knife around the edge, to loosen. Flip it onto a wire rack to finish cooling and slice.
