Gluten Free Chocolate Loaf Cake

by: claire cary

This gluten free olive oil chocolate loaf cake is moist, rich, easy to make and topped with a luscious chocolate fudge frosting. No mixer needed and the best way to satisfy your chocolate craving.
Prep: 20 minutes
Cook: 55 minutes
Total: 1 hour 15 minutes

Ingredients

Wet

Dry

Frosting

  • 2.5 ounces milk chocolate
  • 2.5 ounces dark chocolate
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Grease and line an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 loaf pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients until smooth and well combined.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.
  • Add the dry ingredients into the wet and whisk to combine.
  • Add to your prepared loaf pan.
  • Place in the center of the oven on the middle rack and bake for 52-58 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean and the cake doesn't jiggle at all. 55 is usually perfect in my oven but all ovens are different, so keep an eye on it!
  • Once done, let cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
  • While the cake is baking, prep the frosting because it needs to set in the fridge for about an hour.
  • Add the heavy cream to a small pan and heat over medium/low heat until hot and lightly bubbling.
  • Add both types of chocolate (see notes for options) and the butter to a mixing bowl.
  • Once the cream is hot, pour on top of the chocolate. Let it sit for a few seconds to start to soften the chocolate, then whisk until the chocolate is completely melted.
  • Whisk in the honey and vanilla. Set in the fridge for an hour, whisking every 15 or so minutes until it has thickened.
  • Once the cake has cooled, add the frosting and fresh berries if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

I like the combination of milk and dark chocolate, but you can use 5 ounces of whatever you like - all dark, all milk, semi sweet etc. just note this will change the final flavor a bit!
