A deliciously decadent dessert that’s free from gluten and dairy but full of rich, chocolatey flavour!
Why should dairy and wheat eaters have all the fun (and all the cake)? We’ve come up with this easy-peasy recipe for a gluten and dairy free chocolate cake that’s every bit as extravagant and every bit as enjoyable – if not more so. The dark chocolate in our recipe gives the moist sponge an intense flavour, while the coconut milk makes the ganache wonderfully light and creamy. Serve with a scoop of raspberry sorbet for a perfect finish.
