Instructions

Cake Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 350º F (static) or 325º F (convection). Spray 10" bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray and dust entire surface lightly with gfJules All Purpose Gluten Free Flour.
Whisk together the gfJules Flour, powdered milk/pudding mix, baking powder and salt and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter and sugar and beat well with your mixer’s paddle attachment, until the mixture is very light and fluffy (approximately 3-4 minutes).
Add the eggs next, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla with the last egg addition. Slowly add the milk, alternating with the flour mixture and beating in between the additions. Beat until smooth and pour into the prepared pan.
Pour half of the batter into the bundt pan. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and then squeeze chocolate syrup around in a ribbon design to cover much of the surface of the batter. Add a bit more or less of these chocolate ingredients depending on how much of a chocolate ribbon you like in the middle of your cake. Pour remaining batter on top of chocolate and bake for 45 minutes.
To test the cake for doneness, insert a cake tester or toothpick in the middle and be sure it comes out clean, with very few crumbs attached. The cake will also begin to pull away slightly from the side of the pan. Add time if necessary to fully bake the cake.
When done, turn off the oven and leave the oven door open to let the cake cool slowly there for 5 minutes or so, then remove to a wire rack. After 15-20 minutes of total cooling time, gently invert the cake to remove it from the pan, then flip gently back onto the cooling rack until fully cooled.

Marshmallow Frosting Instructions:

Over medium heat, stir to combine sugar, water and cream of tartar in a small saucepan. Continue whisking together until the mixture bubbles and the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat immediately (the mixture may start to brown, but do not allow it to cook to dark brown or to burn).
Combine egg whites and vanilla in a mixer bowl. Slowly stir in the hot, cooked sugar mixture with beaters on low. Increase mixer speed to high for 6 minutes, or until the frosting has whipped to stiff peaks when tested with a rubber spatula.
When cake has totally cooled, frost with a thick layer of Marshmallow Frosting, swirling designs using an off-set spatula for added decoration.
Crush gluten-free graham crackers and sprinkle on top of frosted cake, if desired.
