German Chocolate Cake (Gluten-Free)

What about the frosting???

Hi Stacy,

Thank you for your interest in the recipe I posted. Typically, home-made frosting is gluten-free. You can find a good frosting recipe for German chocolate cake in any cookbook or online.

Take care,

Destiny

Thanks Destiny! Can't wait to try this one!- my conversion recipe I had made with cocoa powder and it was a bit dry. Glad you figured out your symptoms and that you are gluten free! I have never been healthier since making the change! Good Luck- your celiac friend Susan

Hi Susan!

Thank you so much for the kind words-they really go a long way... I am also glad you like this recipe. Please feel free to let me know how it comes out for you, or share any modifications you make. :-)

Best wishes,

Destiny

Thank you! for sharing a german chocolate cake recipe I have been craving one forever. As for the rice flour do you use white rice flour or brown rice flour? Or would it make a difference?

Thanks again.

Hi Natasha,

I think that it would work just fine with brown rice flour but was intended to be made with white rice flour. If you decide to use brown rice, let me know how it turns out!

Best,

Destiny

Thank you so much for the recipe.

When you say "Add ½ cup sugar and (HEAT) until stiff but not dry" what do you mean when you say HEAT?

I can't say enough about how amazingly great this recipe tastes! I took the chance and made it to bring to a friend's for dinner (only our family needed gluten-free) and everyone loved it! I baked it in a 9x13" pan and a few muffins instead of 3 round pans. It was so delicious! and such a boost to my new desire to eat totally gluten-free, in order to reduce the coursing pain throughout my body! I'm taking 1 day at a time and feeling better!

I have a question. Are you MELTING the chocolate IN the water? Or are you making a steam bath for the chocolate in a separate bowl? That seems like a lot of liquid.

Hi, I made this for my boyfriend's birthday and he loved it! Didn't even care that it was gluten-free. I didn't have sorghum flour so I substituted coconut flour. I used 2 circle pans and my recipe of vanilla icing (1/2c shortening, 1/2c soft butter, 1tsp vanilla, 3-4tbs milk, 4 cups powdered sugar) and it was wonderful.

This was the BEST german chocolate cake! My husband is celiac, and he was head over heels about this cake! I baked it for my birthday -- no one could tell it was gluten-free!
