One Bowl Gluten-Free Birthday Cake
This One Bowl Gluten-Free Birthday Cake could hardly be easier! Deep dark chocolate cake is topped with fluffy buttercream frosting for the perfect birthday treat.
Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
- ¾ cup packed light or dark brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- ¼ cup whole fat plain yogurt or Greek yogurt
- ½ cup strong coffee (or water)
- 1 cup/125 g teff flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line the bottom of an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper, and grease the paper and sides of the pan.
- In a large bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to beat the butter and sugars until fluffy; scrape down bowl. Add the egg, yolk, and vanilla extract, and beat until combined. Add the yogurt and coffee and mix until well combined.
- Place a sifter over the bowl and in the teff flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, then sift it into the bowl.
- Beat in the flour mix on low until just combined, and scrape down the bowl a final time.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top using a rubber spatula. Place the cake in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is set.
- Place the cake on a wire rack to cool for 20 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto the rack to cool completely.
- Frost the top with chocolate buttercream frosting.
