Here is the end result of my gluten free German chocolate pound cake for my stepdad’s birthday. The icing was amazing! The only change I would make based on the link to the recipe from yesterday’s post? Instead of only one baking German chocolate bar, I’d go 2.
This is the gluten free carrot cake. I have to say, this cake did not taste gluten free. If you look at the recipe for this one, be prepared…the icing recipe doesn’t actually make enough to cover the entire cake. Also, in order to ensure that the confectioner’s sugar doesn’t overwhelm the cream cheese flavor, double the cream cheese based on the recipe, then double the recipe. This means 12 oz of cream cheese, not 6.
If you decide to use gluten free all purpose flour instead of the recommended pizza dough flour (which is what I did), you will need to add 1/2 a teaspoon of xanthan gum.
Kitt – Extra applause for going the extra mile for your step-dad.
Thank you. He loved it! He’s a good man.
They look delicious!! Well done!
Thanks!
That pound cake looks divine!
Thanks. It was quite tasty. Everyone was especially in love with the icing. 🙂
The icing is always the best part! My daughter doesn’t eat it, says it’s too sweet, so I always get hers. LOL
I’m actually picky about my icings. Buttercream us what most people use, but most of the time, that one stays on my plate. Cream cheese ones are irresistible to me, though. I blame Cinnabon for that addiction, LOL!
Looking yummy.
Tasted yummy, too. 😉
They both look delicious AND healthy!
Thanks! They were…well, tasty, anyway. The sugar and butter and cream cheese kept it from being completely healthy.
Nice! Too bad I didn’t get to try any! Hope it was a fun party! Can’t wait to see you guys soon!
It will be awesome!
