The Ultimate Wheat Free Recipes' Chocolate Cake

Wheat free recipes are really in demand today, largely because wheat has recently crashed into the top 8 food allergens. So many people suffer with an intolerance to it and that number is only getting larger, which may be why it now sits alongside the allergies to peanuts, tree nuts, milk, shellfish, soy, fish and eggs that are so common.

As well as the diagnosed allergies to wheat out there, a large number of people actually suffer with a wheat allergy but do not know it because their symptoms, which often include an upset stomach and bloating, are ignored or passed off as something else. Wheat is in so many foods that it is difficult to not eat it unless you are consciously trying to cut it out of your diet and use some of the many wheat free recipes out there, but that is just what people are doing.

If you are catering for a birthday or a special meal then you might want to try one of the many wheat free recipes for cakes so everyone, even those intolerant of wheat, can have some. There are some wonderful wheat free recipes out there, but none like flourless chocolate cake! It is absolutely delicious and will leave everyone coming back for another slice! Better still, it is also gluten free and suitable for vegetarians.

Ingredients

• 500g bittersweet/cooking chocolate
• 25g butter
• 150g white sugar
• 120mls water
• tsp salt
• 6 eggs

Serves 8 - 10

Instructions

1. Prepare a 10-inch cake tin by greasing it ready for the mixture and pre heat the over to 150C/300F.
2. Pour the 120mls water into a saucepan and put it on a medium heat. Add the salt and sugar into the mix and stir continuously. Take the pan off the heat as soon as the granules have fully dissolved and leave the pan to one side.
3. Break the chocolate into pieces and place it in a microwave proof bowl. Put the microwave on a high heat for one minute to melt it. Pour the melted chocolate into a mixing bowl.
4. Cut the butter into several small pieces and add it to the chocolate bowl. Pour the water/sugar/salt mixture into the bowl as well.
5. Break the eggs into the mixing bowl with the other ingredients and beat the mixture well for several minutes. It should be thick and well blended before taking the next step. Alternatively, you can choose to beat it after each ingredient is added to the bowl.
6. Boil 300mls water and pour it into a 12-inch round cake tin.
7. Pour the cake batter into the greased cake tin and smooth the top of the batter out to make sure it is level. Place that tin into the 12 inch one, making sure the water comes up to at least half of the height of the tin's sides.
8. Place the tins in the oven and bake it at 150C/300F for 45 minutes. The middle of the cake will still look a little wet after that time so allow it to cool and then place the tin in the refrigerator overnight.

Your cake is ready to serve! You could put a little frosting on top if you like, but either way you are in for a delicious and safe treat thanks to wheat free recipes!
