You can fool anyone with this cake! Best chocolate cake ever – consistency is dense, kinda like a cake/brownie:)

Cake ingredients:
1 1/4 cup gluten free flour
1/2 tsp. xantham gum powder
2/3 cup cane sugar
1/3 cup organic cocoa powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup warm coffee
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/3 cup coconut oil
1 tsp. white or apple cider vinegar

Chocolate glaze:
1/2 cup sugar
4 Tbsps. margarine (I use Earth Balance vegan margarine)
2 Tbsps. almond or soy milk, unsweetened
2 Tbsps. cocoa
2 tsps. vanilla
1/2 tsp. almond extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 9×9 pan and set aside. Mix all dry cake ingredients in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the coffee, vanilla, oil, and vinegar and whisk to combine. Add wet ingredients to dry and mix by hand until combined.

Immediately pour into pan and bake 25-30 minutes, or until knife comes out clean. Cool completely on rack.

For the glaze, mix all ingredients in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat, stirring until smooth, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Pour glaze over cooled cake. Serve with raspberries (optional).
