This easy gluten free Chocolate Bundt Cake is the best cake recipe. The cake is loaded with rich chocolate flavor and is super moist. Without a doubt, this recipe is definitely one for chocolate lovers. It should be noted that my recipe always gets rave reviews because it is easy to make, comes out moist, and is perfect to eat for any occasion. I promise this is a cake that you will want to bake all year long whenever you get that chocolate craving.
WHY I lOVE HOME MADE GLUTEN-FREE CHOCOLATE BUNDT CAKE
Moreover, I like cakes that are easy to make and this gluten-free chocolate Bundt Cake fits the bill. Due to the ease of this recipe, this bundt cake comes together in just a few minutes, and is so moist with hints of espresso and sour cream in every bite. Gluten-free chocolate bundt cake is amazingly chocolaty with a whole cup of dutch cocoa powder that produces a rich fudge flavor.
Not only is this recipe easy to make, it has turned out great every time I have made it. Even so, I like recipes that consistently come out good every time I bake them. Additionally, my recipe is basically foolproof if you follow my instructions. In conclusion, I’m all about having good consistent recipes that aren’t overly complicated to make.
WHY ROOM TEMPERATURE INGREDIENTS ARE IMPORTANT
Firstly, and I cannot stress this enough- please always make sure your eggs, butter, sour cream and buttermilk are room temperature. This is key to a successful bundt cake. I love the taste that espresso powder adds to this cake. It really enhances the chocolate flavor. If espresso isn’t your thing, you can definitely omit that, but please try it, because I know you will fall in love with this recipe.
WHY THE RIGHT OVEN TEMPERATURE IS KEY
Secondly, another key is baking the bundt cake at a lower oven temperature. This allows the cake to cook longer without browning or drying out. My bundt cake took about 85 minutes to fully cook but some can take anywhere from 70-90 minutes depending on your oven.
GREASING A BUNDT PAN PROPERLY IS SUPER IMPORTANT
Thirdly, grease your bundt pan really well. You do not want the batter getting stuck. I have had this happen and it is so disappointing. Make sure you get into all the nooks and crannies so nothing sticks.
USING HIGH QUALITY DUTCH COCOA IS CRUCIAL
Fourthly, use good quality dutch cocoa for this recipe so you get a nice chocolate flavor. My recipe calls for buttermilk and sour cream. These two ingredients are my secrets to making my cake super moist.
Instead of a glaze, I sprinkle my bundt cake with powdered sugar and slice up some fresh strawberries. The combination is perfect together. I add chocolate chips to make the chocolate flavors really pop.
GLUTEN-FREE CAKES NEED TO BE EATEN QUICKLY TO AVOID DRYING OUT
In conclusion, even though this is a super moist cake, gluten-free flour will make your cake dry out faster. That is just the nature of the flour. If you don’t plan on eating this cake right away, seal it an airtight container or put it in a covered cake dish. I recommend eating this cake within two days of baking. Otherwise, you can freeze for a couple of months if you keep it well sealed. Overall, if you like this recipe, please check out my Oatmeal Scotch cookie recipe.
The only thing you’ll need with this cake is a glass of milk to wash down this rich and chocolaty cake!

Notes
- I cannot stress this enough-grease your bundt pan very well. You do not want your cake batter sticking- which I’ve had happen due to not greasing the pan properly. Make sure your cooking spray is gluten-free.
- Oven temperatures vary. Cook time for this recipe is between 70-90 minutes. My Bundt Cake took 85 minutes to be fully done.
- Insert a toothpick into the center of the Bundt cake. If it comes out clean then it is done.
- The batter is very thick. It will fill almost fill up the whole 10 cup bundt pan.
- Please use the scoop and level method when measuring gluten-free flour.
- Not all gluten free flours are created equal. My favorite gluten-free flour is hands down Cup 4 Cup. This is readily available in most grocery stores and sold on Amazon.
- Make sure all your wet ingredients are at room temperature.
- Let your Bundt Cake fully cool before adding powder sugar or a glaze.
- Store in an airtight container or covered cake dish.
- Eat within a few days to enjoy a moist Bundt Cake. Gluten-free cakes I have found start to try out around day 3. I usually eat enough that there is no cake left after day 2.
- I highly recommend using a KitchenAid Stand Mixer with this recipe if you have one.
