Hi Chatty Housewife–Welcome to gfe! And, thanks so much for being my quality assurance check! Gosh, I can’t believe how long that omission has been there. I just added “teaspoon” to indicate the amount. Thanks a bunch for the heads up! Hope you love the cake when you make it.

I would like to make this recipe, but I think there is a typo. 1/4 WHAT of Xanthan gum? The recipe just says “1/4 xanthan gum.” Thanks so much!

[...] also make a very special topping for one of my chocolate desserts like 3-minute chocolate cakes, Mediterannean chocolate cake, or Katharine Hepburn [...]

Hi Autumn–Looks like you are new here … welcome to gfe! I love baking with honey as we keep bees. I think I’d use less honey than the amount required of sugar. You might look at this recipe for flourless chocolate banana honey walnut cake to see how to tweak the Mediterranean Chocolate Cake recipe. And, this Flourless Chocolate Cake recipe does have a glaze that includes honey. Unfortunately, it includes dairy, but it may give you an idea how to make a glaze that meets your needs. And, really, the Mediterrannean Chocolate Cake is great on its own, so with fresh raspberries, it would be lovely, or with your famous fudge sauce I’m sure it would be fabulous. Please report back if you get a second … best of luck!

I can’t have sugar, but I can have honey. I think I’ll try this with just honey (I don’t about the glaze tho…):) We want to have chocolate cake or brownies with our ‘Famous Fudge Suace’ and fresh raspberries on top. YUM! I think this might work, THANK YOU!!!!

Hi Brandy–I’m absolutely thrilled to hear this news! This is a favorite recipe of mine and many. I’ve made it for those who eat gluten to celebrate special occasions and they love it just as much. But, it’s a godsend for those who need to eat gluten free and dairy free. Serving it with strawberries sounds totally divine!

I’m so glad you now have your flour mix using the Asian white rice flour. I think there’s some happy baking/cooking in your future … gfe recipes like cookies, cakes, popovers, crustless quiche, and so much more. And, of course, you can make many of your old favorites, too, by replacing the “regular” flour with this gf flour mix and adding xanthan gum (1/2 tsp per cup of flour mix used). (Xanthan gum may not be necessary for some of them, but I’d start out using that for making cookies, cakes, and such.) Enjoy and thanks so much for taking the time to let me know of your success! It makes my week!

I made this tonight and LOVED it! I told you my husband is the celiac in the family, not me, so most GF chocolate cakes I make taste just okay to me. My nephew was here who is gluten and dairy free so I was excited to find this recipe this morning. My husband picked up the Asian white rice flour the other day, He called me to say it was only a dollar and should that be right? Anyhow, I had everything else on hand and mixed it up in no time. I served it with strawberries—delicious! Oh, he liked it too, of course!

I’m beginning to think you like chocolate as much as I do. Thank you for sharing this on Friday Foodie Fix.
