This easy recipe for gluten free double chocolate bundt cake is made from scratch. The cake includes cocoa powder, chocolate chips and a glossy chocolate glaze. This is such an easy gluten free chocolate cake!
You can make this cake in either a mini bundt cake pan that makes six mini cakes or you can use a regular size bundt pan. I've given instructions below for baking times of either cake.
I love a the ease of a bundt cake! It's so quick to mix up and then bake while I prepare other parts of the meal or doing something else entirely. For this cake I also used my Gluten Free Chocolate Glaze over top. If you don't want to make glaze you could sprinkle some powdered sugar on the cake before serving.
Ingredients
Gluten Free Flour
Cocoa Powder
Baking Powder
Sea Salt
Unsalted Butter
Coconut Oil
Granulated Sugar
Eggs
Buttermilk
Vanilla Extract
Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees. Grease your mini bundt pan or regular bundt pan with coconut oil or butter. Set your pan aside.
In the bowl of your stand mixer beat together the unsalted butter, coconut oil and sugar. Add the eggs, buttermilk and vanilla. Beat until combined.
In a bowl whisk together the gluten free flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and blend together until a batter forms, 1-2 minutes.
Add the chocolate chips to the batter and stir in to combine.
Pour the batter into your greased bundt pan or mini bundt pan.
Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour, 10 minutes for a regular bundt pan or 40 minutes for mini bundt pan.
Test the cake with a toothpick. It should come out clean and the center of the cake should be firm when done.
Let the cake cool for 10 minutes and then invert onto a cooling rack to finish cooling.
After the cake has cooled use my recipe for Gluten Free Chocolate Glaze to pour over the cake.
Bundt Pans
Storage
After the cake has completely cooled I store in an air tight container for up to 5 days. I also love to put individual slices into freezer safe containers and freeze for a chocolate snack later.
Top Tip
I made this cake recipe in a mini bundt pan for individual servings. You can also make this recipe in a regular sized bundt pan. For either size pan wait until the cake has completely cooled before drizzling the chocolate glaze over top.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I make my gluten free cakes more moist?
Gluten free baking tends to require more moisture or oil than when you are using regular wheat flour. For this recipe I added ¼ cup of coconut oil and buttermilk to make it moist and delicious.
If you are using a cake recipe that isn't turning out moist I would suggest adding a bit more oil or butter. You can also add mashed banana or applesauce to help your baked goods have more moisture.
What is the difference between a cake and a bundt cake?
There really isn't that much difference in the cake batter itself. The bundt cake recipe may call for a bit more moisture and/or baking powder as the cake is going to raise higher than than a regular layer cake or sheet cake.
The main difference you might find is that a bundt cake tends to have a crunchier texture on the top. I also love the ease of a bundt cake. The cake gets baked in one pan and then I either drizzle it with a glaze or sprinkle powdered sugar over the top. So much easier than frosting a layer cake!
