Juicy chocolate cake with frosting (oil-free, gluten-free)

Juicy chocolate cake with frosting that doesn’t need any oil and is also gluten-free? Yes, my dears, I tweaked this recipe and was surprised myself at the brilliant result. Lately, I’ve been looking more and more into oil-free variations because I want to reduce refined oil and margarine in my cooking. Admittedly, it doesn’t always work, but more and more often. This cake is a prime example of how to bake delicious without margarine and gluten-containing grains. I hope you enjoy the cake as much as I do. Feedback welcome.

This fine cake is simple, fluffy and chocolatey. If you like to give up gluten, you’re just as golden, because today I’m baking with my gluten-free flour blend and oat flour.

TIP: I like to recommend my own mixed gluten-free flour blend, because many ready-made flour blends from the supermarket are too starchy for me.

As usual, the ingredient list is short and straightforward. Gluten-free flour mix, oat flour, raw cane sugar, cocoa powder, bourbon vanilla, baking powder, baking soda, salt, melted chocolate, apple pulp, maple syrup, a shot of espresso and plant milk. All this is mixed into a smooth dough and baked for 40 minutes. I use a rectangular shape with the dimensions 24×24 centimeters.

In the meantime, I still prepare the frosty with only two ingredients. Coconut milk and dark vegan chocolate. These two ingredients are carefully melted over a water bath and then re-solidified in the refrigerator. After about 2 hours it can also be used. Stir vigorously once with a spoon or hand mixer and the fluffy, full-bodied frosting is ready. Now it may be spread on the cooled cake and ready!

If you’re craving another gluten-free temptation today, here’s what I recommend:
