Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Boil the water in the sauce pan with ½ cup of sugar for about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
- In your stand mixer blend the remaining cup of sugar with the butter and melted coconut oil.
- Add the milk, and add the cooled water and sugar mixture. (The mixer should be going the entire time).
- With the mixer on low speed add the eggs, vanilla, salt, baking soda, baking powder, xanthan gum, cocoa powder and gluten free all-purpose flour.
- Beat on medium for about 5 minutes or until your batter has almost a pudding like consistency.
- Add the coconut extract and mix on low for one minute.
- Pour into your greased pans. I use coconut oil to grease the pan. 6 inch rounds cook about 25 minutes and 8 inch rounds cook 25-30 minutes. Check after 20 minutes in case your oven runs hot. Test with toothpick. Enjoy!

Tips:
- Use a good quality cocoa powder. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your cake. Look for a cocoa powder that is labeled "natural" or "unsweetened." Avoid cocoa powders that have added sugars or other ingredients.
- Be sure to measure your ingredients accurately. This is especially important for gluten-free baking, as the proportions of ingredients are crucial for the success of the recipe.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough and dense. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help the cake to rise evenly.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
