This cake stayed moist for 5 days on my counter, I couldn't believe it! It's the best GF cake I've made so far. Adapted from Smitten Kitchen

Ingredients
Cake:
2 C GF flour mix (I used Gluten Free Mama’s Coconut Blend)
1 t xanthan gum
1 ½ C sugar
¾ C unsweetened cocoa powder
2 t baking soda
1 t salt
1 C olive oil
1 C sour cream
1 ½ C water
2 T white vinegar
1 t vanilla extract
2 eggs
Frosting:
10 oz cream cheese at room temp
1 stick butter at room temp
5 C powdered sugar
1/3 C peanut butter
Instructions
Cake:
Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease three 8 inch round cake pans or 1 large cake pan.
Sift the flour, xanthan gum, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Add the oil and sour cream to the flour mixture then gradually beat in the water. Mix in the vinegar and vanilla until combined. Add in the eggs and mix well scraping down the sides of the bowl. Spread an equal amount of batter into each cake pan.
Bake for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Allow them to cool in the pans before removing.
Frosting:
Beat the cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy. Add the powdered sugar one cup at a time scraping down the sides and mixing well after each addition. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy then add the peanut butter and mix until blended.
Put the layer cake together using frosting to “glue” the layers together. Frost the sides and top of the cake and enjoy!

Reply to This PostYUMMY! I have GOT to try this one for sure. I haven't tried the Gluten Free Mammas Coconut Flour Blend yet, but I have heard it's good! Guess it's time I tried it. :-)

Reply to This PostIt's worth every penny, I haven't had anything go wrong with her blends. This is very rich so have a big glass of milk to go with and cut the slices thin.
