GLUTEN-FREE WACKY DEPRESSION ERA CHOCOLATE CAKE



Gluten-Free Wacky Depression Era Chocolate Cake image

Gluten-free and vegan chocolate cake. Ideally, let it sit a few hours before covering; cover well as it dries out more quickly than other traditional cakes. I don't know why, but it seems better a day or two after it's made, perhaps because it takes that long to set up.

Time 1h55m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

cooking spray
1 ½ cups rice flour
2 cups dark brown sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking soda
⅔ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
⅔ cup olive oil
1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, with liquid
1 ¾ cups water
2 tablespoons white vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x12-inch baking pan with cooking spray and dust with rice flour.
  • Combine rice flour, brown sugar, salt, baking soda, and cocoa powder in a food processor; pulse until well mixed. Mix in olive oil. Pour in garbanzo beans with liquid; puree until smooth. Blend in water gradually. Mix in vinegar; batter will be thin. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until edges pull away from the pan, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool for 1 hour before serving, otherwise it will be crumbly.
