It took me a few days of mixing and matching ingredients, but eventually I came upon a recipe that is perfect as a treat for 2 people (or one big eater).  There are a decent number of ingredients, but nothing crazy.  Most beginners will have no problem whatsoever cooking this.  This is not only a gluten-free recipe, but also dairy-free as well!

The Recipe

Here is what you are going to need:

• 4 tablespoons All-Purpose Gluten-Free Flour
• 4 tablespoons sugar
• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 1/8 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
• Pinch of salt

• 1 large egg
• 3 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1.5 tablespoons applesauce
• 2 tablespoons almond milk
• 1/4 tablespoon gluten-free vanilla
• 2 tablespoons gluten and dairy-free chocolate chips

1.  Lightly grease a microwave-safe 16 oz. mug with coconut oil.  Set aside.

2.  In a medium or large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, sugar, xanthan gum, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

3.  In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, coconut oil, applesauce, almond milk, and vanilla.

4.  Combine the two bowls into one, and stir together thoroughly.

5.  Pour the batter into your 16 oz. mug.

6.  Place the mug on a microwave-safe plate.  Bake in the microwave for 2 minutes.  Check to see if it is done by placing a toothpick in the center.  If the toothpick has batter on it, cook for another 30 seconds and see if it is done at that time.

7.  Remove the cake from the microwave and allow to cool for about 10-15 minutes.

This part is optional, but it is highly recommended!  Take 4 tablespoons of peanut butter, 3 tablespoons of sugar, and 2 tablespoons of almond milk and whisk together in a bowl.  Pour on top of the cake, and you have a peanut butter frosting! So delicious!

After struggling to find a really tasty gluten-free chocolate cake recipe, I can safely say this is the best I have ever had.  After successfully making gluten-free vegan banana bread and carrot bread, this chocolate cake is what I am most proud of.  If you want to treat your taste buds to something they have never experienced, prepare this tonight!  For more delicious gluten-free recipes, be sure to check out This Gluten Free Life.

The best way to get this texture of cake is to find a recipe for that type. Avoid lava cakes and cakes that are titled rich and moist. You wanted to be rich and moist, but you don’t want it to be too rich and moist. If you aren’t sure, testing out different recipes will help you figure out the best to choose. If it is important to get the right texture for certain event, do not wait until that event to start baking.  You can also ask people who have made chocolate cakes that you loved what recipe they used.

If you aren’t too concerned with having cake made from scratch, one way to get the best texture of chocolate cake is to use a boxed mix. Boxed mix cake is almost foolproof. It’s as easy as mixing in a couple eggs, oil, and water. They tell you exactly how long to beat the batter with the mixer, how to grease the pan, and how long to bake it at what temperature. Follow the instructions exactly.

Use a cake tester to test its doneness. Over-baking the cake is an easy way to dry it out and make it much less delicious. Neither people who like moist dense cakes nor people who enjoy light fluffy cakes will like dried out cake.

In the end, chocolate cake is so delicious that it’s hard to mess up. Unless you completely mess up the ingredients and put things in there that you’re not supposed to, you will probably still enjoy the cake you come up with. In the meantime, practice what you can to find that perfect chocolate cake recipe.

Chocolate cake is one of the things that children are eager to prepare with their mom, dad, or grandparents. This represents a good way to get little ones interested in food preparation and kitchen skills.

It is regrettable that children today seem to think that all of the food groups are stored within boxes of fast food that goes in the microwave over. This leads to an inordinate interest in the fast food trio- fat, salt, and sugar.

Begin your cooking adventure with a trip to the kitchen and cooking equipment store. See if there is an excellent cake pan which catches the child’s interest.

You can discuss the various merits of different pans. If a bundt pan is the choice, you could describe how the cake will come out looking at the end. Perhaps the child would prefer a round pan or a rectangular one. There are many choices. This is also a great opportunity for teaching about shopping for excellent items at excellent prices.

Once home you can wash the new pan in the dishwasher so that it is ready to use.

Another outing on the great cake adventure is to the grocery store for ingredients. In the case of a young child, you may wish to simplify the ingredient list. For this first cooking introduction, a prepared cake mix is recommended. Buy a quality chocolate cake mix, eggs, applesauce and some very fine quality of chocolate to add to the cake mix.You may buy a prepared icing if you wish, or skip this step (so that the child does not come to expect cloyingly sweet desserts).

The previous steps may have taken place over several days, depending on your schedule. This will allow for the great emotional build up to the cake preparation adventure.

Your enthusiasm will help build the child’s enthusiasm for the project.

Have the child help you combine the cake mix, eggs, and mix. Instead of water specified in the recipe, try using that same amount of applesauce instead. The will make the cake moist, and will be including some fruit from the applesauce. Add a bit more water as necessary.

Crumble in your fine chocolate, or add the chocolate pieces on top of the batter before baking.

Once the cake is baked and cool, allow your child to continue beautifying it. This may include flipping over the bundt pan, or adding the frosting on top.

Be sure to take pictures along the way, so that your child can remember this event. It would be fun to place the photos in a book with descriptive commentary about the chocolate cake cooking lesson.

So, I went around searching for one of her absolutely delicious recipes and found this:

Nigella Lawson’s Honey Chocolate Cake Recipe with a Honey Glaze

Now, that’s what I call a chocolate dream come true! So, here are the ingredients needed to make this absolutely sinful delicious dessert for honey and chocolate lovers:

115g cooking chocolate, broken into small pieces

1 1/3 cups soft brown sugar

226g softened unsalted butter

1/2 cup honey

2 eggs

1 1/2 cups plain flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 tablespoon cocoa powder

1 cup boiling water

Here are the steps you will need to take to turn all these raw ingredients into a wonderful honey chocolate cake:
First you set a pan of water over medium heat until boiling. Then you place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl and place the bowl over the pan of boiling water. This is so that the chocolate will not burnt as you melt it over the boiling water. Once it is completely melted, set it aside for it to cool. Alternatively, you can also place the chocolate in a bowl and microwave it high for two minutes .

Grease a 9 inch cake pan with butter or cooking spray and line it with wax paper. Then preheat the oven to 180 degree Celsius.

In a bowl, sift the flour, baking soda and cocoa together.

In another mixing bowl, using a hand mixer to beat the sugar and butter together until it is creamy and almost white. Then you pour in the honey and mix well. Add the eggs one at a time and alternate it with a spoonful of the flour mixture.

Fold in the melted chocolate and then fold in the flour mixture. Then, you pour in the boiling water before you mix it all together to come up with a smooth, creamy batter. Pour the batter into the cake pan and bake at 180 degree Celsius for up to an hour.

The cake is done when you insert a skewer into the centre of the cake and it comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before you invert it onto a cake plate. Now, lets get on to the honey glaze recipe:

These are the ingredients you will need for the honey glaze:

1/4 cup water

1/4 cup honey

170g bittersweet chocolate, broken in small pieces

3/4 cup icing sugar

Here’s how you make the honey glaze:

You place the honey and water in a pan and heat it up to boiling. Then you turn off the heat and add the chocolate. Let the chocolate melt and whisk the mixture. Once it is well combined, sift the icing sugar into the mixture and whisk till well combined.

Let the glaze cool completely and only put it on the cake once the honey chocolate cake is also cooled completely.

The 5 minute chocolate cake is not very pretty and hardly presentable but it makes up for it with its great taste. As long as you prepare it properly, it will definitely satisfy any of your last-minute chocolate cake cravings! And if you think you are not much of a cake baker, well, don’t worry. You only need a spoon, a mug and microwave to create this delightful single-serving of chocolate cake. Here is the recipe:

The 5-minute Chocolate Cake

These are the ingredients you will need:

4 tablespoon flour

4 tablespoon brown sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

3 tablespoon cocoa powder

4 tablespoon low-fat milk

1 egg, lightly whisked

3 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 tablespoon natural unsweetened peanut butter (optional)

4 tablespoon mini

This is what you should do to make this easy cake:

I know the ingredients sound really daunting but really, it is basically pretty simple and easy to make. The best part about this 5 minute chocolate cake recipe is that you don’t need a lot of utensils. Just get a large ceramic mug and a spoon.

First, you pour in the flour, brown sugar, baking powder and cocoa powder into the mug. Mix it all together and then add in the whisked egg.  Mix it thoroughly and gradually pour in the milk. Stir and pour in the oil. By now, the whole mixture will be pretty sticky so add in the peanut butter and finally, the chocolate chips.

Remember to stir the mixture very well so that the ingredients are well combined and you won’t get clumps of flour or anything like that. After this, you just pop the mug into the microwave and zap it on high for a maximum of three minutes and it is done!

You can serve this cake with vanilla ice cream or with a chocolate ganache topping or even with a drizzle of chocolate sauce. However, don’t refrigerate this cake as it tends to become rubberized and hard because it is microwaved and not baked the conventional way. Best to eat it immediately!

Now, before I start with the chocolate cake recipes, here are some basic facts about chocolate, cocoa and cacao.

• Fruits from the cacao tree tastes nothing like the processed chocolate we eat
• There is a type of fruit called ‘chocolate fruit’ but it is not fruits from the cacao tree and is actually the nickname for the Black Sapote which is also healthy chocolate substitute.
• The cacao tree is native to South America and it has been cultivated for at least 300 years.
• The Maya and Aztecs are the first ones to invent chocolate drinks known as xocolatl which means bitter water and does not taste like the hot chocolate drinks of today.
• The chocolate that we eat has gone through a tedious process to get to the rich chocolaty sweetness it has.
• Cocoa is processed from cacao beans and in pure form, it is bitter to the taste.
• So, it is from cacao beans to cocoa and from the cocoa, it became chocolate.
• Dark chocolate is good for health and is known to lower blood pressure and protect the heart.
• There are many types of chocolate such as white chocolate, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, cocoa butter, baking chocolate, bittersweet chocolate and bitter chocolate.
• Chocolates have been linked to giving you a boost in adrenaline and also endorphins, that’s why it has also earned the reputation that chocolate is a type of aphrodisiac.

For the longest time, chocolates were first enjoyed as cocoa drinks and then it chocolate bars were invented. From then onwards, we have what we call an explosion of chocolate products! That’s why today we have so many different types of chocolate cake recipes and chocolate cookie recipes to satisfy every chocolate craving of any chocoholic.
