INGREDIENTS
For the cake 1 1/2 cups (210 g) all-purpose gluten free flour (I used my Better Than Cup4Cup blend, but any of the others should work fine)
3/4 tsp
xanthan gum (omit if your blend already contains it)
14 tbsp
unsweetened cocoa powder (I prefer Dutch-processed in this recipe, but made it with natural cocoa powder and it worked fine)
1/2 tsp
kosher salt
1/2 tsp
baking soda
1 cup
sugar
3/4 cup
sour cream, at room temperature
1/2 cup
vegetable oil
2
eggs (120 g, out of shell) at room temperature, beaten
3/4 cup
warm water (about 95°F)
For the ganache topping 3/4 cup (6 fluid ounces) heavy whipping cream
8 oz
(or 10 ounces, for whipped ganache) dark chocolate, chopped
1 cup
confectioners’ sugar (for whipped ganache)
