Ingredients

Ingredients

  • Vegetable oil, cooking spray 1 1/2 cups sugar 3/4 cup brown-rice flour 1/2 cup almond flour 3/4 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder 1/4 cup quinoa flour 2 teaspoons baking soda 1 teaspoon baking powder 3/4 teaspoon coarse salt 2 large eggs 3/4 cup warm water 3/4 cup low-fat (1 percent) buttermilk 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) unsalted butter 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

  • 1 1/4 cups sugar 1/4 cup water 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon corn syrup 5 large egg whites 3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract Pinch of salt

Directions

Make the cake layers: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat two 8-inch cake pans with cooking spray. Line bottoms with parchment; spray parchment.

Whisk together dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add remaining ingredients, and mix until smooth, about 3 minutes. Divide batter between pans.

Bake cakes until they pull away from sides of pans, about 1 hour. Let cool in pans on wire racks. Cakes will keep, covered, for up to 1 day.

Make the frosting: Place sugar, water, corn syrup, and whites in a heatproof mixer bowl over a pot of simmering water. Cook, whisking occasionally, until sugar dissolves and mixture registers 160 degrees on a candy thermometer.

Attach bowl to mixer. Whisk hot sugar mixture on high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 7 minutes. Whisk in vanilla and salt.

Assemble the cake: Place a cake layer on a plate. Spread 2 cups frosting on top. Place remaining cake layer on top of frosting. Frost top and sides with remaining frosting. Cake is best eaten within 1 hour of frosting.

Cook’s Notes We’ve tinted the finished frosting pink by adding red gel-paste food coloring drop by drop. Feel free to leave it white, or tint it with any favorite color.
