I feel like I'm just throwing this recipe at people all the time because I love it so much, but I make this with Bob's Red Mill 1:1 gf flour and it's spectacular. You don't have to make it a layer cake if you don't want to (just cut quantities by about a third so you don't have too much batter). If you prefer a different flavor icing than the ganache, any vegan glaze will work, just make sure the cake is fully cooled first, and make the glaze on the thick side so it doesn't just absorb into the cake. I've made it with cherry glaze, mint glaze, and coffee glaze, and they were all great.

I made vegan gluten free cupcakes for a wedding a few weeks ago using this recipe: https://www.noracooks.com/vegan-vanilla-cupcakes/
I used King Arthur Gluten Free flour in place of wheat flour as the only substitution and they turned out great. The recipe is for cupcakes but a lot of the reviews mention baking it as one large cake and it turning out fine.
I've also done this cake for a birthday in the past and it's quite good if a bit heavy. The nice thing is that it's gluten free by design, no ingredient subs needed. And it doesn't require a premade gluten-free flour blend (which isn't always available)
