with a chocolate swirl
This gluten free cake will lure in you with that beautiful (and easy to make!) swirl and then hook you with the taste and texture! This cake is dang delicious, my kids have asked for in multiple times since we tested this cake!
What is a gluten free snacking cake? A cake in loaf form that you can slice and snack on! You can also put some candles on top and call it a birthday cake, there are no wrong answers here.
For this recipe you will need a loaf pan and the following ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups Muffin and More Mix (230 grams)
- salt, baking powder, baking soda
- 2 eggs, butter, and vanilla extract
- granulated white sugar
- whole milk yogurt (we used a vanilla flavor)
- natural coco
- water
We use our gluten free flour blend, The Muffin and More mix for this recipe. This blend works well with heavy batters like this cake batter. The muffin and More has no sugar, salt, or leavening in the blend and is meant to be used like flour in a recipe.
We offer an 18oz (about 3.5 cups) size and a 5lb bag of the Muffin and More mix.

Josie’s Best Gluten Free is there for all the moments you should never miss out on because of a food allergy.
What started as a personal mission has grown into a larger one—to bring back breakfast for everyone.

Ingredients
For the Batter:
- 1 ½ cups Muffin and More Mix (230 grams)
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- 2 eggs
- ¾ cup melted, room temp butter
- ¾ cup granulated white sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup whole milk yogurt (we used a vanilla flavor)
For the Swirl:
- ½ cup of the batter
- 3 TBS natural coco
- ¼ cup of water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350F and grease a loaf pan (the pan I used is 5X9 & 3 inches deep).
In a small bowl whisk together Muffin and More Mix, baking soda, baking powder, and salt .
In a large bowl or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, add the eggs, butter, sugar, vanilla, and yogurt.
Mix well for about 1 minute.
Gently mix the dry ingredients into the wet. The dry ingredients should be well incorporated, but try not to overdo it!
Take ½ cup of the finished batter and add it to a small bowl (you can use the same bowl that had the dry ingredients in it).
To the ½ cup of batter add the coco powder and water and mix well. You will use this batter for the swirl.
Add about ½ of the vanilla batter to the pan and gently spread evenly. On top of the vanilla batter add 2-3 large spoonful’s of the chocolate batter- do not spread them out.
Next, add the rest of the vanilla batter and on top of that layer, then last few spoonful’s of the chocolate batter.
Then, using a butter knife, skewer, or chop stick (this is what I used). Place the utensil at one corner of the loaf pan (all the way through the batter) and drag it back and forth to the opposite end of the pan.
Do the same thing going the opposite direction- side to side.
This will create a swirl effect in your batter. Do not worry too much about your technique, it will look great when its cooked!
Bake your loaf on the middle rack for about 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out with only a few moist crumbs.
Allow to cool in the loaf pan before running a butter knife along the edges to release the loaf and gently inverting it on a cooling rack.
Once it is fully cooled slice, snack and enjoy!
