I was really thrilled with the way this gluten free chocolate cake recipe turned out. Soft, springy, and moist. So good – one of the best gluten-free recipes ever! I wouldn’t be ashamed to serve this to a cake connoisuer. And because I saw this delicious looking caramel icing recipe on Little House Living a while ago, I decided to give it a try while I was at it. YUM!
I’ve been testing a lot of recipes lately for what I hope will be an upcoming ebook full of recipes using gluten-free cake mix. (It’s hard work, but somebody’s got to do it )
Using yogurt in the batter really helps keep the texture soft I think, and so I don’t reccomend omitting it in favor of milk. You can however, substitute sour cream instead, which should acheive pretty much the same result.
This is another cake you can bake in the crock pot following the directions for Gluten Free Chocolate Lava Cake. Using the slow cooker is such and easy, no fuss way to bake a cake – it’s well worth a try!
On with it then! who wants to make some chocolate cake?
