Creating The Best Gluten Free Ultimate Chocolate Cake is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well mixed.
3. In another bowl, combine the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until thoroughly combined.
4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring until fully incorporated and smooth.
5. Carefully stir in the boiling water until the batter is well combined (the batter will be thin).
6. If using, fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips for added richness.
7. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
9. Once done, remove from the oven and let the cakes cool in their pans for 10-15 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
10. Once cooled, frost, layer, or serve as desired!
