A Gluten Free Chocolate Cake by Donna Hay with White Wings Flour!!!


 When I first bought some Gluten Free White Wings Self Raising Flour I noticed that there was a recipe on the pack for 'melt-and-mix chocolate cake' by Donna Hay


So off I toddled and gave it a go......
Once cooked JoJo decorated it with pink chocolate buttons from Koko Black


A slice cut


Served with cream......


Verdict - pretty good!!!!

  2. Oh yum! I'm so glad I don't live too close to you, I would have to walk that beach days and night after tasting that yummy looking cake. KOKO Black is my favorite coffee shop. I hope we can visit this weekend in ACT...

  3. I love any sort of chocolate cake Dzintra but I'm not a big fan of Donna Hay. I guess if the cake works the recipe must be good. It looks delicious.

  6. White Wings is my favourite gluten free flour. It has the best flavour and best results of any of the others I've tried. Macro is one brand I particularly dislike as it has a real corn flavour that can be overwhelming. You can certainly trust Donna Hay to only endorse great products- and create such great recipes, yummo!

  7. I know this was a while ago but I googled up the recipe and found you. There's no listing of eggs in the ingredients, but they are listed in the instructions!!

    How many eggs in the recipe? I've already started, so I'm going to guess 2. Here goes nothing!
