Baba's Chocolate Cake GF!

Grandma served this the other night, and I swear to you I ate half the cake.  Well, maybe just 3 pieces...but I couldn't keep my hands off it!  Yum!

Baba's Chocolate Cake Gluten and Dairy Free!

3 Cups GF flour
2/3 cups oil
2 cups sugar
1 tsp salt
6 TBS cocoa
2 tsp vanilla
2 cups water
2 eggs ( or 1/2 cup applesauce)
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp vinegar
1 tsp xantham gum (if not included in your flour)

Mix well,
bake at 350 for 25-30 min in a casserole or 2 rounds.

Baba's Frosting

2 squares unsweetened chocolate
1 cube margarine
melt together on Low (place the chocolate on top of the butter so it doesn't scorch)
Add 1 lb powdered sugar slowly, mixing.  It will be really really dry.  Add Coconut or Almond milk TBS at a time until fudgy and thinner (I know these are oxymorons....).  Then add a healthy tsp of vanilla. It should be spreadable at this time.  If it isn't add a little more milk.
