  CHOCOLATE CAKE
   
  2 cups GF flour mix
  1 Tbs. Xanthan gum
  3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda

  ·        Beat together butter and brown sugar with electric mixer until pale and fluffy.
  ·        Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then beat in vanilla.
  ·        Add flour mixture and water alternately in batches, beginning and ending with flour and mixing just until combined.
  ·        Pour batter into cake pan and make in middle of oven until springy to the touch and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean -- about 55 minutes to 1 hour.
