Simply Heavenly Chocolate Cake

Chocolate Cake

This is a lovely gluten-free chocolate cake recipe that I would recommend that wheat eaters should definitely try too! The recipe was shared by Sarah Young.

Sarah is passionate about creating wonderfully tasting food. She has her own blog about Eating Disorders. She loves cooking and baking and I know this cake is loved by all her family.

Sarah says:- ‘After recovering from ten years with an eating disorder, I now offer support and advice on the recovery process, body positivity, and building a healthy relationship with food on many social media platforms including my website – Everything ED Recovery‘

This gluten free chocolate cake is totally delicious. You don’t need to be on a gluten free diet to try it!

Gluten Free

People chose gluten free diets for a variety of reasons – either for essential medical reasons or simply to feel better on a day to day basis. Being gluten free doesn’t have to mean limitations on taste and gorgeous food!

In fact this Chocolate Cake can be served to anyone and they will not realise that it is a ‘free-from’ cake. You can make many recipes using gluten free self raising flour. It is made from a mix of rice, potato, tapioca, maize and buckwheat.

Chocolate Buttercream Icing

This cake has buttercream filling. You can leave the top plain or make twice as much icing to spread on the top. Add chocolate buttons or other decorations as you please!

You will need two 8″ sandwich tins lined with greaseproof paper
