Gluten-Free Portillo's Chocolate Cake

Ingredients:

1 3/4 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup vegetable oil

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Add the eggs, buttermilk, and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until the batter is smooth and well combined.

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.

Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Then, remove them from the pans and place them on a wire rack to cool completely.

For Portillo's Chocolate Cake Frosting (not included in the 9 ingredients):

Ingredients:

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
5 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Frosting Instructions:

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy.

Gradually add the cocoa powder and powdered sugar, alternating with the milk and vanilla extract. Beat until the frosting is smooth and reaches your desired consistency.
