Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cake Recipe

If you’re looking for a yummy, gluten-free sweet treat, or are wanting to satisfy your sweet tooth with a chocolate fix, this is the dessert recipe for you!

If you know me, you know I’m not a great baker. Maybe it’s because I rarely eat sweets any more (too many years of eating high fructose corn syrup and other artificial sweeteners really messed me up. Today, I’m very intolerant of different sugars, even allergic to some). However, for my husband, I try to bake every once in a while. I like recipes which are easy to make and include ingredients I have actually heard of! This recipe fits both of those requirements.

On the other hand, my sister-in-law, Crystal, is a great baker and actually enjoys figuring out flavorful combinations! This chocolate chip cake recipe is her creation. She took recommendations from a different recipe, made it gluten-free, changed ingredient ratios and added some ingredients. The final version is this yummy dessert!

By following her recipe, I made this dessert for my family and everyone enjoyed it! Finally something yummy I can bake:)!

Notes:

Cook time varies depending on your elevation. It took me almost 30 minutes in Michigan. It took my sister-in-law around 15 minutes in the higher elevation of West Virginia. Use your best judgement.
The dessert in the picture was made with 1 egg. Be sure to use 2 eggs to make it more cake-like.
