- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ cup cocoa powder (30g)
- Pinch of salt
For the chocolate ganache
- ½ cup cream

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly grease a bundt cake pan.
- Whisk together gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Beat the sugar, egg, oil, orange zest, and juice in a large bowl.
- Pour the dried ingredients into the egg mixture and mix without beating until well incorporated. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 40 minutes. Keep in mind that all ovens are different. To check if it’s ready, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake; it should come out clean, with no batter streaks.
- Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Invert onto a wire rack and cool completely.
- When the cake is completely cold, drizzle the chocolate ganache.
For the chocolate ganache:
- Heat the cream in a small saucepan or microwave until boiling. Pour over the chopped chocolate, add the butter, and mix. Let cool/stand at room temperature, and then beat for 3 minutes with a hand whisk until smooth.
