I went into the kitchen today with a chocolate craving and came out with this. Just made it up as I went along! Like to get some feedback on it, I wanted to add a peanut butter swirl, but I didn't have any peanut butter today :( And As always this is GFCF!

How To Make everyday buckwheat chocolate coffee-cake

  • Step 1
    Pre-Heat Oven to 375 degrees and use hard coconut oil to grease a Bundt pan, I used my new silicone pan today
  • Step 2
    Add sugar and coconut oil to your mixing bowl and cream together, then add eggs and vanilla and mix well
  • Step 3
    In a separate bowl mix flours, baking soda, xanthan gum, salt and cocoa stir and mix well with a whisk. Slowly add the flour mixture to the cream mixture along with water and stir till blended
  • Step 4
    Pour batter into your Bundt pan and tap on the counter to level the batter, bake about 40 minutes or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean. Allow to cool 5 minutes and then remove cake to cool on a cake plate. Cool completely.
  • Step 5
    For Glaze: Mix cocoa powder and powdered sugar together with a whisk in a small bowl, add boiling water a tablespoon at a time continuing to stir until the glaze is smooth and desired consistency, quickly drizzle over cake, sprinkle with a few shakes of ground cinnamon to taste.

    A Note about Gluten and Casein Free Ingredients: Since my family began this diet, we have discovered that you always have to read the labels on the foods you buy. This week when shopping I may buy something that is clearly gfcf and next week when I look for the same item I will notice they have changed the ingredient list adding dry milk, or maltodextrin, or some other questionable ingredient. I find that it's best to stick to unprocessed foods whenever possible- make it from scratch. My son is on the autism spectrum, its not the end of the world if he gets a little gluten or casein, while it may ruin his day, it isn't life threatening. I always watch him for symptoms and note the offending food. Please keep this in mind while selecting your ingredients for my GFCF recipes. Happy Careful Shopping! :)
