This Light & Airy Chocolate Tea Cake is so light and fluffy with a mild chocolate flavor. The chocolate glaze topping adds that lovely sweetness. It’s of course, gluten free, nut free, eggless and easily vegan.
In a large bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter or vegan baking stick and both sugars until everything is soft and creamy. About 2-3 minutes.
With the mixer on low, pour half the cornstarch water mixture into the bowl. Mix until combined.
Pour in the second half and once again mix until combined and mix in the vanilla.
Starting and ending with the gluten free flour mixture, with the mixer on low, pour in some of the flour mixture then some milk then some flour mixture.
Make sure you start and end with the flour mixture.
Use a spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl and do a final mix. Scoop the batter into the parchment lined and greased 9 inch cake pan. Use the back of a spoon or a butter knife to smooth the top of the cake.
