Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously spray two 9-inch cake pans with cooking spray. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and xanthan gum. Add the mayonnaise and mix until well combined, creating a smooth, thick batter. (10 minutes)

03

Step

Gradually pour in the hot water and vanilla extract, stirring continuously until the batter is smooth and homogenous. Ensure no lumps remain for the perfect texture. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared cake pans, ensuring each pan receives the same amount for consistent baking. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, and the cake begins to slightly pull away from the sides of the pan, approximately 30 minutes. (30 minutes)

06

Step

Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before carefully inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents the cakes from sticking and ensures they retain their moisture. (10 minutes)

For an egg-free alternative, egg-free mayonnaise can be used as a substitute for regular mayonnaise without compromising the cake's texture or flavor.
Consider using a high-quality cocoa powder to enhance the chocolate flavor.
Frost the cooled cake with your favorite chocolate frosting or ganache for a truly decadent treat.
