MOIST Gluten-Free Double-Layer Chocolate Cake {From a box?! Oh yeah…}

Just look at it.

YES….you CAN make a moist, delicious, double-layer, quick and easy….GLUTEN-FREE chocolate cake! Here are the pictures to prove it! Ladies, I am not kidding here….if there was a blind fold taste test, you still wouldn’t guess this was a “glutenous minimus cake”. I’m grateful for Betty Crocker who recently came out with this boxed cake mix. With a *slight* adjustment to the ingredients this passes the “comfy” taste test for sure. My girls and I made this for a dear friend’s birthday….they had so much fun helping me in the kitchen.  

I love teaching them how to cook from the heart.

For a double layer cake, you want to start with foil-lined parchment paper. Place your cake pans on top and trace them for a perfect fit. The foil liner will go against the pan and the parchment paper side will be at the bottom of your cake.

Good job sweetie! {You will also want to butter and flour this…JUST KIDDING, Bahaaa- I crack myself up!!! Just butter it.}

I’m a fan, Betty! You are going to make many GF children very happy on their birthdays {and grown-ups!}.

The secret to making the cake moist: The directions say to use 3 eggs…INSTEAD use 2 eggs, 1 egg yolk and 1/3 cup of vegetable oil. That will do it! We used 2 boxed cake mixes and 2 separate bowls so the cakes would be even.

Pour the batter in parchment- lined and buttered 9 ” cake pans. 

The directions say to bake them waaaaay too long! This was 30 mins a 350 oven- perfecto.

Cool the cakes in the cake pans on a wire rack for approximately 20 mins. Check this out…it didn’t stick at all! 

See? So, stop worrying if it’s going to stick….you can do this. 

I used 2 containers of chocolate frosting and started with the top of the first cake {the middle}.

Plop the second layer on as evenly as possible like so…

Frost all over.

Add some sprinkles….you’ve got to have sprinkles.

Let the kidos put on the candles {you gotta have trick candles- the kind that don’t blow out right away…the kidos love em}.

Turn out the lights and let the singing begin!!!!! 

Happy Birthday sweet friend!!!!! 

Mmmmmm…….Oooey, gooey chocolate cake without the gluten! I’m sold.
