The Best Gluten Free Chocolate Cake Recipe

I’ve been making this gluten free chocolate cake recipe for years and I can’t believe I’ve never shared it here! I’ve shared versions of it, like my gluten free chocolate cookies and cream cake. And I made a half batch of it to make my gluten free chocolate peanut butter ice cream cake.

A plain old, classic gluten free chocolate cake? NOPE. What was I thinking?!

Clearly I wasn’t and it’s definitely time to change that because this cake is EVERYTHING. It gets rave reviews every time I make it (which is pretty frequently for birthdays) and nobody can tell it’s even gluten free!



The great thing about a stellar chocolate cake recipe is that you can do a lot with it. The chocolate cake is the perfect base for all different kinds of flavor combos you’d like.  It really has no limits so you can use your imagination!

I’ve made a mint chocolate chip version and a Snicker’s version for a couple birthdays and most recently, I made this with peanut butter frosting for Adam’s birthday. It’s one of those classic recipes that you’ll want to keep on hand, you’ll definitely be making this one again and again.
