Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake Recipe

From Dr. Axe

One of the most popular treats, of course, is chocolate cake. Whether it’s for a birthday party, an after-dinner dessert or just a way to satisfy a sweet tooth, you really can’t go wrong with this amazing Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake rather than one with shortening or white flour or — even worse — from a boxed mix.

Ingredients

• 2 cups gluten-free flour

2. Grease and flour two 9-inch cake pans.
