Ingredients

Servings

• 1.5 cup Gluten Free Flour
• 0.5 cup Cocoa Powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted Butter
• 1 cup Granulated Sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 4 ounces Dark Chocolate
• 0.5 cup Heavy Cream
• 1 cup Fresh Berries

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a heart-shaped cake pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. In a small saucepan, heat the dark chocolate and heavy cream over low heat until melted and smooth.
8. Pour the chocolate ganache over the cooled cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
9. Decorate the cake with fresh berries.
10. Let the cake rest for at least 1 hour before serving.
11. Enjoy!
