About this recipe
GF Chocolate Cake is super easy and quick to make, like this recipe of vegan brownies. It’s a basic recipe to always have on hand and perfect for any occasion.
The main flour of this recipe is buckwheat flour that gives a special flavor and texture. It takes sunflower oil, or you can also use coconut oil, and it’s full packed with chocolate chunks.
The cake is moist, soft, and chocolaty. It pairs very well with many toppings and adds, like dried fruits, frostings, and so on. You can customice the cake as your taste and also it frezees very well.
Ingredients
- Gluten-free flour: buckwheat flour, as the main flour, rice flour, and corn starch.
- Baking powder and baking soda: GF baking powder and soda. Leaving agents.
- Salt: enhance flavors.
- Ol: sunflower oil but coconut oil should work well.
- Sugar: white sugar but you can also use brown sugar, or add a little dark brown sugar. Check the amount.
- Eggs: room-temperature eggs are better.
- Cocoa powder: unsweetened cocoa powder.

How to make GF Chocolate Loaf Cake
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
Lightly grease the bottom and sides of a loaf pan or line with parchment paper. I used a loaf pan 9×5-inch. Set aside.
Whisk buckwheat flour, rice flour, corn starch, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
In another bowl beat the sugar with the oil. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract.
Pour the mixture into the dry ingredients along with the buttermilk. Mix well.
Add the cocoa powder, and baking soda and incorporate everything. Mix 3/4 cup of the chocolate chunks.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and place the remaining chopped chocolate on top.
Bake for 50 minutes or until cooked. Keep in mind that all ovens are different. To know if it’s ready insert a toothpick into the center of the cake, it should come out clean, with no streaks of batter.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes, then lift out by the parchment paper.
Storing
Store the cake at room temperature for up to three days or in the refrigerator for up to five days. You can also freeze it, it’s better to slice it up before freezing so you don’t need to defrost the entire cake.
Variations
- Flour: you can try a different mix of GF flour like replacing white rice with brown rice flour. Almond flour should work well.
- Milk: replace whole milk with vegetable milk.
- Topping: you can top the cake with chocolate ganache instead of chocolate chunks.
