To assemble

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 175°C (345°F) and grease two round pans.
    ⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
    💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
  2. 2
    Sift the gluten-free flour blend, cocoa and baking soda into a bowl and add the sugar.
