Gluten Free German Chocolate Cake:

Here it is!! I made this for my mom's birthday and everybody loved it!

This is a mix of different recipes that I put together to make it gluten free and even dairy free.

German Chocolate Cake:

Chocolate Cake:

1/2 c. butter or coconut oil

3/4 c. cocoa powder

1/4 c. of coconut milk or regular milk

9 eggs

1 1/2 c. rapadura

3/4 tsp. salt

1 tsp. vanilla

3/4 c. sifted coconut flour

3/4 tsp. baking powder

Melt butter or oil in a saucepan over med/low heat. Add cocoa powder and coconut milk and mix together. Remove from heat and set aside. In a bowl, mix together eggs, sugar, salt and vanilla. Stir in cocoa mixture. Combine coconut flour with baking powder and whisk into batter until there are no lumps. Pour batter into greased 8x8x2 or 9x9x2-inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 35 minutes or until knife inserted into center comes out clean. Cool and cover with frosting of your choice.

Coconut Frosting:

1 c. rapadura

1 c. milk (or coconut milk if your dairy free)

1/2 c. coconut oil or butter

3 egg yolks, beaten

1 1/3 c. flaked coconut

1 c. chopped pecans

1 tsp. vanilla

In a small saucepan, heat sugar, milk, oil, and egg yolks over med/low heat until mixture is thickened and golden brown, (I added a little bit of organic corn starch)

stirring constantly. Remove from the heat. Stir in the coconut, pecans, and vanilla. Cool until thick enough to spread. Spread a third of the frosting over tops of each cake layer and stack the layers.

Melt coconut oil, honey and cocoa and drizzle over sides of the cake.
