Gluten-Free Chocolate Raspberry Cake with Ganache

For a unique twist on a chocolate cake that’s both gluten-free and sure to delight, why not try a Gluten-Free Chocolate Raspberry Cake with Ganache? This recipe combines rich chocolate flavors with the tartness of raspberries for a delicious contrast.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups Schär Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour Blend
• 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup buttermilk or milk alternative
• 1 cup fresh raspberries, plus extra for garnish

For the Chocolate Ganache:

• 1 cup heavy cream or coconut cream
• 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease two 8-inch round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Schär Gluten-Free Flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually alternate adding the dry ingredients and the buttermilk to the creamed mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients.
5. Carefully fold in the raspberries without crushing them.
6. Divide the batter between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

For the ganache:

1. Heat the cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Do not boil.
2. Place the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl, and pour the hot cream over the chocolate. Let sit for a few minutes, then whisk until smooth.
3. Allow the ganache to cool slightly until thickened but still pourable.

Assemble the cake by placing one layer on a serving plate, spreading some of the ganache over the top, and then adding the second layer. Pour the remaining ganache over the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides. Decorate with fresh raspberries.
