Gluten Free Chocolate Birthday Cake with Healthy Chocolate Frosting



Oct 6, 2013

It’s my birthday!  The big one.  I’m turning 21 today.  Yes, TWENTY ONE!  So being cognizant of the excess alcohol I’m going to be drinking tonight (obviously) I thought I’d make a healthy dessert to balance out all that booze.  That’s how it works right?  (No, it’s not, sadly…  but one can hope).  This Healthy Chocolate Birthday Cake with Chocolate Frosting has made my birthday weekend my best one yet — it is sweet and moist and chocolatey and just screams,

“CELEBRATE, GIRL!!  You’re FINALLY 21!!  Now go stock all of your kitchen cabinets with vodka.”

This Healthy Chocolate Birthday Cake is so tall I can’t even bring my fork all the way to the bottom!  But that’s a good thing, it makes you feel like you have a never-ending slice of cake.

Looky here.  See how soft and moist it is?  Definitely something you can cram into your face.

It’s my birthday, I can cry eat an entire cake if I want to.  JOIN ME  🙂

The only difference between this cake and the Chocolate Therapy Cake is you bake the cake in TWO 8″ pans, not three, and you bake the cakes for ~55 minutes (or until the center of the cakes spring back when tapped) instead of 42 minutes.  Once the cakes have completely cooled, slice each cake layer in half to create four layers. It helps to use a very sharp and LONG knife, go eye level with the cake to make sure you slice it straight (no one wants the leaning cake of Pisa!).  Once you frost the cake, top it all off with Homemade Rainbow Sprinkles!
