Decadent-Looking Chocolate Cake - Frosting/cake Recipe?

Here is a picture of a decadent-looking chocolate cake.

There is no recipe that I could find for it anywhere, I just saw the picture and thought 'oh, how nice would it be if I could make this gluten free!'. I'm certainly sure it's possible. Particularly as I'm mainly interested in the frosting ingredients and how you'd get such a nice smooth and consistent texture over the top of it.

Also more than happy to hear of flour substutes for making the cake itself too! :)

That cake looks similar to a truffle cake with ganache. I just happen to have a recipe for a gluten-free version somewhere - will look into it and get back to you. There are even flourless chocolate cakes you can make that are delicious.

This is one of the recipes I had in mind. It is truffle-like inside. Just make a ganache for the top and sides (there is ganache in the middle of the cake in the photo so if you felt really decadent you could make two of these cakes and stack them).

Ganache is very simple, rich and glossy...

I like to sprinkle my truffle/chocolate cakes with some fleur de sel as I love the extra bit of salty crunch. I do the same with butterscotch, caramel and shortbread.

Thanks for this, it will come to great use for sure! :) Haven't had a whole lot of experience in home baking (let alone gluten-free home baking) so I'll give it a go.

Oh my god!!

This is by far the easier flourless chocolate cake I've made. I made one a few years ago from the epicurious website and the ganache was cloyingly sweet. Ugh!

The main thing is that I'd like to get the ganache nice and even on top, similar to that seen in the picture, so that it's spread completely evenly.

Yes - that ganache is SO easy and you can spread it thickly on the top. It glistens and is so smooth that it hides any imperfections, too! :P

The moosewood cookbook of desserts also has a great easy flourless chocolate cake. It's like six eggs, melted chocolate, vanilla, sugar, and baking powder. Fluffy. Chocolatey. Not at all dry or cumbly.

      She used to take supplements, but her abdominal pain is so debilitating that she hasn't been able to continue.  Her primary care team has been suggesting liquid supplements rather than pill form to help.  They just drew a lot of blood Friday and we are slowly getting all that work back.  I will definitely check into thiamine!  Thanks!

      They have not done that yet.   We are looking at some other treatments to help. And you are correct.  The tickborne illness has been a wild ride.  Our whole family has been battling different tickborne illnesses.  Its expensive and exhausting.

      I cannot tolerate it at all - triggers burning and nausea, ditto aspirin.  Here in the UK I take Paracetamol.

      For back pain, I take a combination of Cobalamine B12, Pyridoxine B 6, and Thiamine B 1 (in the form Benfotiamine), which have an analgesic effect.  These three B vitamins together work way better than those over the counter pain relievers.  Theses are water soluble B vitamins that are easily excreted via the kidneys if not needed.  Thiamine will also help the nausea.

      @stephaniekl, welcome to the forum, Is your daughter taking any nutritional supplements?   Weight loss and failure to thrive are two symptoms of thiamine insufficiency.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms are not recognized as such by doctors.   I experienced similar symptoms when I became malnourished.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can become worse quickly, and can affect one emotionally and mentally.  Although blood tests for thiamine aren't accurate, do have your daughter checked for nutritional deficiencies.  Thiamine B 1 works with the other B vitamins and magnesium.  Thiamine and Niacin B 3 help improve Gerd.  All the B vitamins are frequently low due to malabsorption.  Vitamin D will help calm the immune system.  Thiamine helps the immune system fight off viruses like those tick borne illnesses.   Thiamine Mononitrate, which is in many vitamin supplements, is not bioavailable.  I was taking a multivitamin containing thiamine mononitrate and still became deficient in thiamine. Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.  A form called TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) is also excellent for correcting thiamine deficiency.  A combination of Thiamine, Cobalamine B12, and Pyridoxine B 6 has analgesic properties.  I take it for back pain.   Keep us posted on your progress!
