Allergy-Free chocolate cake!

Allergy-Free chocolate cake

1 1/2 cups gluten-free flour ( I like to use 1/2c brown rice flour and 1 c gluten free mix)
1/2 cup cocoa
1 cup sugar (I use honey, but you don't have to)
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoon guar gum or 3/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
5 tablespoons applesauce or melted coconut oil
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 egg (or 1 tablespoon flax mixed with 3 tablespoons of warm water)
1 cup water
1/2c allergy free chocolate chips

Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl. Add all liquid ingredients and mix well. Stir in the chocolate chips. Bake in greased and floured 9" square pan (or lined with waxed paper), at 350 F, for 30 - 35, or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.

For an extra yummy topping I melt 1T coconut oil with 3/4c-1c allergy free chocolate chips and spread across the top, after the cake has cooled some. If nuts are allowed I would sprinkle some chopped walnuts or pecans on top!! Enjoy!
