I seem to remember someone mentioning they eat a gluten or wheat free diet- I am considering making a gluten and wheat free cake for a friend of mine's bday this Thursday. Any recipes, suggestions, tips, tricks would be hugely appreciated! I am pretty capable with baking, but have never gone down this track before :-) I am thinking he might like a chocolate cake... if possible!! Thanks!

This one not only looks really nice, it tastes it too!  YUMMY!!!

I have piles of recipes but none tried and tested - my Mum makes a GF choccie cake but it often tends to be rather dry and crumbly.  I will ask her which one she finds the most successful.  I don't make cakes because I don't want to put on weight - now following a GF diet and I CAN put on weight.
Just remembered there is a sort of chocolate torte kind of thing that is a normal recipe - not with GF flour or anything - made without flour, perhaps it is ground almonds?  Will look through my file.  Meanwhile checkout the coeliac uk site for info.  Or the message board at http://members2.boardhost.com/glutenfree/  might lead you to something.  I am sure Dill will be along soon I think she is a better cook then me! And Crespin - sure there is someone else too. 

Ah Crespin you got in while I was still writing!  :-)

lol

I dont have to follow a GF diet, but my mom does (impish), and I live with her.   She has so many good recipes, but the link I provided has got to be the best!  YUM!

That is a very rich recipe Kory!!!  All those eggs and a WHOLE tablespoon of vanilla essence.  However have saved it and am following that person on Twitter now!! 

Pressed chocolate cake - River Cafe recipe
200g dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids), 150G unsalted butter, 5 large eggs seperated, 2 tbsp cocoa powder, 115g caster sugar, icing sugar to decorate.  Similar sort of recipe I think.  If you want me to write all the info out I will. 
Also had a choc roulade with ginger cream that sounded great but on reading it now have failed to safe all the pages!  :-(  Sorry not much use.

Thanks everyone! I might try the super rich, 8 egg one and see how it goes! Come to think of it I might do that today and if it turns out well make another for Thursday! Ceejay.... if you have the details for the one you suggested that would be fab :-)
