Ingredients

    Gluten free flour, I used Bob's red mill

    Baking powder, I used clabber girl.

    Baking soda

    Vanilla extract, I used Spice islands.

    Light brown sugar, organic cane, or your choice sweetener.

    salt, Kirkland sea salt from Costco.

    Canned pure unsweetened applesauce or pumpkin. I used pumpkin.

    100% pure cocoa powder, I used Hershey's.

Tips

I'm thinking of making cupcakes next time, the batter really didn't rise much in the round cake pan I used. I think it was too big.


Directions

Preheat oven to 180°C/355°F.
Grease and line a small cake tin (or cupcake tins)
I used Wilton's round 10-inch aluminum cake pan, and less than 1 tsp Kirkland butter.

Combine all dry ingredients together except the sugar and mix them together well.

Add the wet ingredients, vanilla extract and canned pumpkin or applesauce, with the sugar of your choice and mix together well.

Combine wet with dry ingredients.

Batter was really dry for me, I added water until it was a thick consistency. You could also add milk of your choice.

"Bake for 20-35 minutes or until cooked through and a skewer inserted removes clean. If making cupcakes, cook for ~10-15 minutes or until cooked through."

I baked my cake for 15 minutes, then another 5. When I checked it it was perfect.

Serving Size: makes 9 slices in the 10 inch round cake pan that I used.
