Gluten-Free Wacky Depression Era Chocolate Cake

Gluten-Free Wacky Depression Era Chocolate Cake

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.

Ingredients

  • cooking spray
  • 1 ½ cups rice flour
  • 2 cups dark brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon baking soda
  • 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2/3 cup olive oil
  • 1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, with liquid
  • 1 ¾ cups water
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×12-inch baking pan with cooking spray and dust with rice flour.

Step 2
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.

Step 3
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.

Cook’s Notes:

White vinegar can be replaced with apple cider vinegar.
