I need 2 recipes for a gluten free 3 tier wedding cake, one that is chocolate and one just a white. I have 2 weddings for 2 family members, that have to have gluten free cakes. Could you please tell me how to adjust this recipe for chocolate and white. Thank you
Hello Starla,
You can adjust the lemon ginger wedding cake recipe to make chocolate and white cakes.
The basic recipe is here…
http://bigsislittledish.wordpress.com/2011/09/24/gluten-free-lemon-blackberry-wedding-cake/
To make white cake, just leave out the lemon extract, grated lemon rind and ground ginger. You should add or increase the vanilla extract (almond extract might be nice too). Some sort of extract is important to mask the slight bean flavour from the garbanzo-fava flour.
I have never made this particular cake with chocolate but I am certain that you could add cocoa powder and some grated chocolate to the batter with excellent effect. Again, you will want to include vanilla an or almond extract. I would make a single batch (the top tier of the cake) as a test first.
Good luck!
Erin
Even if you publish this in a book I would still buy it!
Thank you! That is very encouraging!
Any plans to?! Do let me know… Erin, this is Sangeeta (from India) btw…:)
Hi Sangeeta!
Nice to know that you are looking in me! I will keep you in the loop my dear!
