Gluten Free Black Forest Layer Cake

Gluten Free Black Forest Layer Cake

I made this Gluten Free Black Forest Layer Cake for my husbands birthday last Tuesday! It was the first time I’ve made and tasted a Black forest cake before and I have to say I absolutely loved it. Oh and so did the birthday boy!!

The chocolate cakes were filled with white chocolate ganache and cherry jam and a dark chocolate icing to top finish off the cake. I realised I didn’t make quite enough ganache or cherry jam, so I made sure to double the quantities in the recipe below so you don’t run out!

I know this isn’t one of my quickest or simplest recipes, so I will forgive you if you don’t go out and make it this weekend. I’d seriously consider it for your next birthday celebration though, it was so divine. You might also want to read a little bit about why birthdays are so important in my family. I shared it on my blog last year with a recipe for Gluten Free Chocolate and Salted Caramel Layer Cake. Just excuse the fact the cake wasn’t very even shaped or flat.

Anyway, I must say thanks to Delicious magazine for the original recipe. I adapted it to be gluten free with a few less steps. Thanks for stopping by!

Cherry Coconut Slice Gluten Free

Cherry Coconut Slice Gluten Free

Today I’m sharing this Gluten Free Cherry Coconut Slice that I was planning to make but Jesse ended up baking for work. I’m sure I have mentioned it before but my husband loves to bake? It comes in handy, especially these days when Lyla often demands my attention halfway through baking something.

Anyway, it was one of those “Bring a plate to share” kind of work functions and it seems everyone loved it as there was none left! I was meaning to share it with you last week but we got caught up making brownies (my Walnut and White Chocolate Brownies) and Jesse’s Chocolate Ganache Macaron’s for a market on the weekend.

Thanks for stopping by,
