Hi Marie,
I don’t bake with Xanthum gum or gluten-free flour mixes so I’m not sure exactly what measurements would work. You could try 3/4 cup of rice flour. If you do let me know if it turns out!

Hi Jesse
I am allergic to nuts including coconut. Could I substitute using a mix of gluten free flours and how much Xanthum gum would I need to use? I tried a different recipe using carob instead of cocoa and it turned out a brick. I need help.

You made my day Flavia! I’m so happy to hear that you and your husband enjoyed the recipe. I love the modification you made.

I used stevia instead of maple syrup (with a bit of almond milk to make up for the lack of liquid), and didn’t find the stevia necessary in the fughe icing. Great great recipe, had to comment to thank you for sharing it xx

Hi Alona, I never use chickpea flour so I’m honestly not sure! I think you could do the substitute but I’m not sure if the texture would stay the same or not.

It will definetely go Into my collection of favourites. I made an icing of blended dates, peanutbutter, carob powder and water which complemented the cake beautifully. Thank you Regards from Susanne from Denmark

Hi Bec! Thank you so much for taking the time to write and let me know, you made my night!!! I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed the cake so much!!! If you are allergic to dairy and gluten then you will love my recipes in my cookbook Healthy Dairy-Free Dessert, most of them are gluten-free and you can always sub carob for chocolate!

I just made this cake and it is honestly the best recipe I’ve made in a longgg time! I am already allergic to gluten and dairy, and recently found out I can’t have caffeine either – and chocolate was one of the only treats I could eat! So lately I’ve switched to carob. And your recipe tastes better than any chocolate cake I’ve made or eaten, I no longer feel like I’m missing out. Thankyou.
