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.

      FDA looking for input on Celiac Gluten sensitivity labeling PLEASE READ and submit your suggestions

      Because I spend so much time reading every word on all food packaging, I personally would greatly appreciate it if there was one common gluten-free symbol written in large-enough text, and always located in the same place. That alone will make shopping easier and faster. I dread having to buy packaged food. Thank you very much for asking,

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Try adding some Thiamine Hydrochloride (thiamine HCl) and see if there's any difference. Thiamine HCl uses special thiamine transporters to get inside cells. I take it myself. Tryptophan will help heal the intestines. Tryptophan is that amino acid in turkey that makes you sleepy after Thanksgiving dinner. I take mine with magnesium before bedtime...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I live in the upper mid-west and was just diagnosed with marsh 3c celiac less than a month ago. As a 51 year old male, I now take a couple of different gluten free vitamins. I have not noticed any reaction to either of these items. Both were purchased from Amazon. 1. Nature Made Multivitamin For Him with No Iron 2. Gade Nutrition Organic Quercetin...

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      I am doing a gluten challenge right now and I bought vital wheat gluten so I can know exactly how much gluten I am getting. One tablespoon is 7g so 1½ tablespoons of Vital Wheat Gluten per day will get you to 10g You could add it to bean burgers as a binder or add to hot chocolate or apple sauce and stir.
