Let them eat cake!

Hello Friends,

I was trying to think of what to start this post with, and nothing seemed quite right except this.
Cake........


Mocha Cake with Chocolate Buttercream Frosting
  • 2 cups of sugar.
  • 1 3/4 cups of my rice flour blend
  • 3/4 cup of cocoa powder.
  • 1 teaspoons of baking powder.
  • 2 teaspoons of baking soda.
  • 1 teaspoon of salt.
  • 2 eggs.
  • 1 cup of plain yogurt
  • 1 cup of espresso
  • 1/2 cup of vegetable oil.
  • 3 teaspoons of vanilla.
Heat oven to 350F. Grease and line two 9inch cake pans with parchment paper. Mix all the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add all the rest of the ingredients and mix until smooth; batter will be very runny. Pour batter evenly into each pan and bake for 30-35. Let cool for 10 minutes. Remove from the pans and set aside while you make the frosting.

Frosting: 
  •  1 cup (2 sticks) of butter.
  • 3 1/2 cups of confectioners' sugar.
  • 1/2 cocoa powder.
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt 
  • 2 teaspoons of vanilla.
  • 4 tablespoons of heavy cream or milk.
Whip the butter until creamy in a bowl with an electric mixer. Sift in the sugar and cocoa. Whip until combined. Add the rest of the ingredients and whip until smooth and creamy. Frost the cake to your liking and enjoy!

Happy Baking!
