How To Make gluten free chocolate raspberry torte!
-
Step 1Preheat Oven to 350 F. Grease 2 - 8" or 9" pan.
-
Step 2If using the Gluten Free Cake Flour (recipe), place ingredients in bowl and shake it up. Spoon Cake Flour into measuring cup, do not scoop it. Please also see Baker's Note 2.
-
Step 3Combine first 5 ingredients in a medium size bowl. Set aside.
-
Step 4In a large bowl, beat butter, and sugar together, until light and fluffy. Add Vanilla Yogurt, thawed Raspberries, and reserved Raspberry juice. Blend Well.
-
Step 5Add Eggs, 1 at a time, blending well between additions. Beat in Raspberry Extract.
-
Step 6To the wet ingredients, add dry ingredients alternately with the water, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, don't overmix.
-
Step 7Pour batter evenly into 2 cake pans and smack it on the counter a few times to break any air bubbles inside.
-
Step 8Test Cake at 30 minutes, it all depends on whether you double the recipe or not. Don't over bake.
-
Step 9Bake for 30-50 minutes at 350 F, until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, maybe with a few moist crumbs attached. Cake should be a little spongy, not dense and dry.
-
Step 10Allow both pans to cool for 10 to 15 minutes. Loosen sides and flip one cake onto platter or 10" round cake board. The second cake onto cooling rack. Allow cakes to completely cool.
-
Step 11Meanwhile, prepare Chocolate Ganache. Place the heavy whipping cream over medium heat and bring to boil.
-
Step 12Place chopped chocolate chips in a large stainless-steel mixing bowl.
-
Step 13Remove the cream from the heat and pour it over the chocolate. Stir chocolate until completely melted, stir in the Raspberry Extract.
-
Step 14Let it stand for 10 minutes, before spooning it over cooled cake.
-
Step 15Take the Raspberry Jam, unscrew the lid put it aside, then place the jar in the microwave for 15 to 30 seconds on High.
-
Step 16Take Raspberry Jam out of microwave and spread it onto the bottom layer of first chocolate cake. You will have 1/2 jar left to use for another time.
-
Step 17Place 2nd cake onto the 1st cake with Raspberry Jam Filling.
-
Step 18Take the Ganache Glaze and spoon it over the 2-layer cake. Place slivered Almonds neatly over the top of cake or Choclate sprinkles to decorate the cake with.
-
Step 19BAKERS NOTE: Gluten Free Cakes are smaller and denser than a standard gluten cake. So, if you want a taller cake, double the recipe for the 2 cake layers.
-
Step 20BAKERS NOTE 2: If you prefer to use a Gluten Free Cake, instead of making your own cake flour. Please skip the first 5 ingredients, then proceed with recipe. :)
