Gluten Free Chocolate Cake

[tabasco32]

1 pound semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped

1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes, plus 1/2 tablespoon

1/4 cup Kahlua

8 large eggs

1/4 cup sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 teaspoon salt

Confectioners' sugar or cocoa powder, for garnish

Fresh raspberries, for garnish

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

Using 1/2 tablespoon butter grease a 9-inch springform pan and line bottom with a parchment round. Cover pan underneath and along sides with foil and set in a roasting pan. Bring a medium saucepan of water to boil.

Combine the chocolate, butter, and Kahlua in a metal bowl set over simmering water or in the top of a double boiler. Melt the mixture, stirring constantly, until smooth and creamy, about 5 minutes; reserve.

Meanwhile combine eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt in a large bowl and whisk with an electric mixer until frothy and almost doubled in volume, about 5 to 10 minutes. Fold 1/3 of egg mixture into chocolate mixture using a rubber spatula. Repeat this process 2 more times

Wow! Thank you. I was just thinking that I need to try another recipe. My son's first B-day party since the diagnosis is coming up in six weeks, and I'm trying to find the best cake recipe! The gluten-free mixes are so expensive and you usually get less than a regular mix.

I intend to try this chocolate cake recipe because it sounds really yummy. But, I have to mention that Namaste cake mixes make an 8-1/2 by 11 cake pan, 2 layer cake or 24 cupcakes and the Whole Foods in my area sells them for around $5.99. Their Spice Cake is terriffic, their chocolate cake is really good too. Their Vanilla cake has specks in it because they use real vanilla bean.

Yes, it's more expensive than regular but you get more than you do with any other gluten-free cake mixe that I've found and I haven't found any mixes with better taste or texture.

I tried this recipe and it was really good. It's very rich, it's like a mousse cake, and it just melts in your mouth. Highly recommended!
