Gluten free chocolate cake
One friend often turns up with her own snack because she doesn't want to impose her eating issues on her host.
It's an interesting challenge to have when entertaining, as it's good to be aware of the needs of your guests.
I thought this recipe may be a help to entertainers everywhere who want to make sure all guests are catered for.
And even if you aren't gluten intolerant, it's still a yummy cake to make.
