Servings: 1 cake
Ingredients
- 6 eggs separated
- 1 cup granulated cane sugar
- ½ cup sifted confectioner’s sugar
- 1 ¼ cup gfJules™ Gluten Free All Purpose Flour
- 2 Tbs. unsweetened cocoa if using Irish Cream
- 3 Tbs. Irish Cream Liqueur or orange juice or lemon juice
- ¼ cup boiling water
(optional):
- 8 oz. cream cheese dairy or vegan Cream Cheese
- 1 cup sifted confectioner’s sugar
- ½ cup full fat canned coconut milk 14 grams or more fat OR heavy cream
- 1/2 chocolate bar to make chocolate shavings optional - not recommended if using juice instead of Irish Cream and cocoa
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F convection or 325°F static.
- Whisk the gfJules Flour, cocoa and confectioners sugar together in a small bowl and set aside.
- Separate the eggs, beating the whites in a clean metal bowl until stiff peaks form, then set that bowl aside.
- In another bowl, beat the yolks and the granulated sugar until light. Add the boiling water and Irish Cream next, beating until blended. Finally, stir in the flour-confectioner’s sugar mixture until incorporated.
- Fold the beaten whites into the other mixture by gently stirring with a rubber spatula. Once integrated, pour into an ungreased 10-inch tube or spring form pan.
- Bake for 30 minutes, then increase the heat to 325°F convection or 350°F static and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and invert the pan on a wire rack, allowing the cake to cool somewhat before removing it gently by sliding a knife around the outside of the cake to release it from the sides of the pan.
- Serve with glaze, whipped cream (So Delicious® CocoWhip) or fresh berries.
- To make the glaze, whip the cream cheese and sugar until smooth, then slowly stir in the cream to make spread-able consistency. Drizzle over cake.
- To make chocolate shavings, soften your favorite chocolate bar slightly in the microwave, then shave with a cheese grater or micro-planer over the top of the cake.
