Dry Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.

  3. 3

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, eggs, and milk. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and fully integrated.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.

  5. 5

    Pour into Pans

    Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.

Baking

  1. 6

    Bake the Cakes

    Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  2. 7

    Cool the Cakes

    Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Frosting (Optional)

  1. 8

    Prepare Frosting

    You can frost the cake with your favorite gluten-free frosting or a simple dusting of powdered sugar.
