Gluten-Free NY Giants Chocolate Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting

My wonderful father is a huge NY Giants fan and they happen to be playing in the Superbowl this year.  I made this cake as a way to celebrate with him even though we live more than 1,000 miles apart.  I decorated the cake with red and blue M&M's and cream cheese frosting.



Here is what you will need to make this delicious cake.

2 cups sugar
1/4 cup and 3 Tablespoons of white rice, sweet rice, tapioca, and soy flour
3/4 cup Cocoa
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup boiling water

1.  Heat oven to 350 degrees
2.  Grease and flour (with extra from the above list of flour) 13x9x2 inch baking pan
3.  Stir together sugar, flours, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt
5.  Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla
6.  Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes
7.  Stir in boiling water (the batter will be thin)
8.  Pour into prepared pan
9.  Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a wooden tooth pick comes out clean if inserted into the center
10.  Cool and then turn out of pan and onto a plate for decoration




To make the frosting you will need:

6 oz. softened cream cheese
1/2 cup (1 stick) softened butter
4 cups powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon of milk

1.  Beat the cream cheese and butter with electric mixer until smooth
2.  Add half the powdered sugar, the vanilla, and the milk and mix completely
3.  Add the other half of the powdered sugar and mix completely
4.  Spread onto completely cooled cake and decorate
