Looking For Tried And True Chocolate Cake Recipe

[ebrbetty]

does anyone have one they would like to share that does not use bean flours?

I will change it a bit to make it low cal/low fat..finding gluten-free desserts that are not made with lots of butter and oil is hard!

thanks

This is the recipe I used for my daughter's 3rd birthday. It is listed as we did it for her other allergies so I will also list the alterations. It was a big hit here. Hope you enjoy!

This recipe calls for 1 egg.

I have been on a quest for cake for a long time. I have baked mostly flops. On a whim yesterday, I bought a mix from Cherrybrook Kitchen called Gluten Free Dreams Chocolate Cake Mix (Peanut Free, Dairy Free, Egg, Free, Nut Free). I made it into cupcakes and it's pretty good!

Tell me how the applesauce instead of Crisco or margarine works. I'll be interested in trying a lower fat option as well!

I might make this tomorrow if I don't have to work. Been craving cake and haven't found a recipe that doesn't sound too outlandish.

Just last week I made a chocolate cake from the recipe on the Hershey's Cocoa can. It is called Hershey's Perfectly Chocolately Chocolate Cake and there is a frosting recipe on it too. I used a gluten-free mix of rice flour, tapicoa starch & potato starch. I did not use Xanthan gum in the recipe. I don't have the recipe written out, but if you need it, I can type it up later. This cake turned out so good and no one even knew it was gluten-free!!
