Gluten-Free German Chocolate Cake is chocolatey, moist, and tender. Needless to say, it is so chocolatey and decadent. You won’t believe that it is gluten-free. In fact, it has the same texture as a cake made with all-purpose flour. Who doesn’t love chocolate?A slice of triple layer Gluten-Free German Chocolate Cake

Gluten-Free German Chocolate Cake:

On my birthday I wanted a German Chocolate Cake. Incidentally, I have tried many gluten-free cakes that are good but their texture is off. Let me just say this cake is super moist. Hence, this is my version of a German Chocolate Cake in the USA. The next recipe I will share with you my coconut pecan frosting. I use full-fat coconut milk. I get my Cassava Flour from Amazon.

This recipe is for 3 (6-inch) cake pans.  In short, you will need to make coconut buttermilk. Open a can of coconut milk and spoon out the thick coconut milk and add 2 teaspoons of lemon juice to it. Let sit for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes you will have coconut milk buttermilk.

At any rate, this recipe was one of my first to write. I have revamped this recipe just a little. By the way, I removed the tigernut flour and tapioca flour and replaced them with almond flour. Thereby, creating a more moist cake. Consequently, there are only 4 people in my family. While I like the cake we don’t need to eat it for days. Therefore, I made this a three-tier 6-inch cake. Since this is my favorite cake I don’t need the temptation of having a larger cake. LOL

Notes:

Cassava Flour and monk fruit sweetener were two of the ingredients I had never heard of before I went gluten-free. Find Cassava Flour Information and Monk Fruit Sweetener Information in my blog posts.

In conclusion, this cake with coconut pecan frosting is so decadent and tasty.
