When you’re gluten free, sometimes you miss the little things. Like really, really good cake. You know, the kind that you can just pick up from the bakery on your way to a party. The fluffy, rich kind of chocolate cake that your guests will still be raving about at your next get-together.

While this one might require a little extra work compared to a quick run to the store, it’s definitely worth it. This is, without a doubt, the best gluten free double chocolate cake ever. That’s right, ever.

I said it.

The best part? Your guests won’t even be able to tell it’s gluten free.

I don’t know about you, but I have a terrible habit of picking up the closest gluten free box of cake mix at the store. Then spending approximately 2.5 seconds actually baking the thing. And you know what happens? The cake always comes out OK.

Not great. Not amazing. Just… OK.

Which is fine, if you want to settle for the OK things in life. Personally, I can live with that sometimes. If I don’t have the time or energy to put in to something, or if it’s practically midnight and I suddenly remember that I promised to make cupcakes for that thing I’m supposed to go to the next morning. I’m not the only one who does that, right?
