Delicious Gluten Free Chocolate Cake





Even though I say so myself, this is the best ever chocolate cake I’ve eaten.

It might be because of the gluten in other cakes but I think that the taste and the constancy in this cake are just heavenly.

Imagine a chocolate heaven and this is it!

How to make this wonderful cake?

It’s easy and there are just a few things you’ll need.


GLUTEN FREE CHOCOLATE CAKE


200 g of butter
2,5 dl of sugar
5 dl of potato flour
2 tea spoons of baking powder
3 eggs
1 tea spoon of vanilla
100 g of dark chocolate
1 dl of cream



IN THE MIDDLE
Raspberry jam

ON THE TOP
100 g of dark chocolate
1 dl of cream

 
1. Take butter out of the fridge and let it sit for few minutes until it starts to soften. Mix the butter and sugar and stir until they are soft foam.

2. Mix the potato flour with the baking powder well. Then stir them together with the butter and sugar, making sure that the resulting mix is uniform. Use a sieve if necessary.

3. Add the eggs to the mix one by one, carefully and mixing with a steady hand. Make sure the resulting mix is uniform.

4. Add the dark chocolate to the cream and melt it either on the stove or in the microwave oven. Make sure that the chocolate won’t burn or it’ll become bitter.


5. Add the chocolate/cream mix to the batter when it has cooled off. Add the vanilla and mix well.

6. Pour into a buttered baking dish and bake in 175 C for about 45 minutes.

7. Let the cake cool of and then cut it in two halves. Put the raspberry jam in the middle and place the other half on the top of the bottom half.

8. Mix the dark chocolate with the cream and melt it. Don’t let it burn or it will become bitter. Pour it over the cake while it’s still warm. Let the cake cool of, more time you let it sit in the fridge the better it becomes. The taste is best after about two days.

ENJOY!

Huevos Chilenos - Ecuadorian Mini Donut Centers


The "Chilean eggs" are a typical sweets from Ecuador.

They are a sort of donut or mini donut centers.

Why they are called Chilean when they are from Ecuador is a mystery to me.

The egg part is a bit more understandable, since they are small, about the size of an egg, and round.

But not exactly egg shaped.


The most important thing about them is that they are very delicious.

They are a very popular street food and sold everywhere.

But can also easily be made at home.

What you will need for the recipe:


Ingredients


1 dry yeast (or 2 and 1/4 tsp)
1 1/4 cup warm milk

Mix and add

3 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup softened butter
1 tsp salt
Caraway or aniseed essence

stir well

and add

5 cups of flour



Form soft dough and let rise.

Once to twice its volume stretch and cut the threads and form little balls with your hands.

Submerge the balls in boiling oil until they are golden.


Sprinkle sugar on the balls and ENJOY!
