Prep Time 20 minutes mins
Cook Time 40 minutes mins
Total Time 1 hour hr
- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (homemade blend)
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon xantham gum
- Pinch of salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup sunflower oil
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the chocolate ganache
- 1 and 1/2 cup semisweet chopped chocolate (200gr)
- 1 and 1/4 cup cream (300gr)
Preheat 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 9x5-inch. Set aside.
In a medium bowl whisk gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl beat the eggs with the sugar. Add the oil, milk, and vanilla extract.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ones along with the milk and mix until well integrated.
Pour the preparation into the prepared pan.
Bake for 40/50 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.
For the chocolate ganache
Heat the cream in a small saucepan. Pour over the chopped chocolate. Mix well. Let cool at room temperature, and beat for 3 minutes with a hand whisk.
When the cake is completely cooled spread the chocolate ganache on the cake´s surface.
- Store the cake in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- The chocolate for the ganache must be chopped in small pieces, in order to melt before the cream cools down.
