Maraschino cherries are awesome in chocolate cake, so is coconut or chocolate chips. I think Enjoy Life makes a diary free chocolate chip. Raspberry preserves folded in in swirls would also be wonderful. Then you could top with decadant chocolate frosting and fresh raspberries. Yum! That sounds insanely good. Peanut butter chips (don't know if they're dairy free) would also be amazing.

What would I use for icing? What is the best way to store the cake?

My favorite trick with chocolate cake is to split the layers and spread them with seedless raspberry preserves or orange marmelade. Ice the outside with Cool Whip and garnish with fresh berries or orange slices that you split half way through and twist.

You can give Cool Whip a different taste and texture by stirirng a tbsp of sour cream into it. It gives it a taste that is richer and less sweet and a denser texture.

My brother accused me of picking up a bakery cake and saying I made it when I did this. :-)

I've done the same with an Authentic Foods Lemon Cake and lemon curd. Yum!

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.

      suggest gluten free food

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.
