Instructions
- 1Heat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and grease and line a 20 cm cake pan with baking parchment before you begin.
- 2In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- 3Create three wells in the dry mixture. In the first well, add the olive oil; in the second, the vinegar; and in the third, the vanilla extract.
- 4Pour the cold water over all the ingredients and mix gently with a whisk until just combined. If the batter thickens, use a spatula to incorporate the remaining flour.
5Transfer the batter to the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a knife.- 6Bake in the centre of the oven for 45 minutes, or until the top is risen and springs back when touched, or a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- 7Leave the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- 8Once completely cool, dust with icing sugar or top with fresh fruit, compote, or ganache if desired.
