Delicious Chocolate Cake -- Gluten Free, Sugar Free, Egg Free

Delicious Chocolate Cake -- Gluten Free, Sugar Free, Egg Free

This has made a great birthday cake.  We used the store-bought sugar free chocolate frosting.

Melt over low heat in a small saucepan and set aside:

3 "squares" (ounces) unsweetened baking chocolate -- Hershey's or Ghiradelli's preferred

Combine in a bowl and set aside:

1 1/4 cups flour mixture
1/2 cup tapioca flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
(1 packet Knox gelatin, optional)

In a mixing bowl with an electric mixer, beat until light:

1/2 cup butter (or other fat that is tolerated)

Add:

1/2 cup Stevia in the Raw measureable
1/2 cup fructose
1/2 cup dextrose

1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons ground flax seed mixed with 1/3 cup water
1/2 cup applesauce

Add the dry ingredients from above alternately with

1 cup cold water

Pour batter into a 9"x13"x2" cake pan that has been sprayed with cooking oil spray.  Bake at 350F for about 25 minutes.  Cool completely and frost.
