Gluten Free Dairy Free Chocolate Fudge Cake

I don't know where to even begin? Wednesday was a get up and go day. The illustrator and I moved everything out of our bedroom and into every open space upstairs we could find (and some downstairs).  The hallway was open and now it is a tight squeeze to get through.  The illustrator's parents came into town and now we are working on the rearranging of everything. I am on painting duty, but that starts tomorrow. I always dread painting at first, but once I get going with my ipod on (thanks to some new music suggestions from Melissa), I actually enjoy it. Crazy, I know.

Since I was on clean up duty yesterday, my job was either on or off. So, while I was waiting for my clean up call, I decided to work on a new recipe...


I never make cakes because we just don't eat that much sweet stuff, but since we have people here to help eat, I figured this would be a good opportunity to play with my recipes.


This is a gluten free dairy free chocolate fudge cake. While I want to work on it a little bit, it was a really good cake. It's a rich and fudgy cake so a little goes a long way.

I will be posting pictures of the studio when we get things together. The illustrator is so excited. Honestly, it will be a perfect space for us even if things are a little crazy now.

Now, I am off to make pancakes! I am pretty much the cook for the week, but I would be lying if I said I  don't love that part!  Have a great Friday!

    That looks amazing! I was just saying on someone else's blog about how I really prefer things like brownies and cakes a little more dense. It's way more decadent that way... go big or go home, right? ;)

    Happy Friday! :)

    Whew! You have been so busy. I hate the start of painting and the end when you just want to finish.

    YUM!!! Anything that combines the words "fudge", "chocolate" and "cake" is a winner in my book! And the fact that it's gluten (and thus wheat) free, makes it even better! Thanks for sharing.

    Dense is ALWAYS better when it comes to chocolate cake!

    Ah, painting. We're getting around to doing yet another round on our house too. So far, we've used Earth paint mostly -clay, milk powder, straw and water.
    Density in people sucks. Density in chocolate cake, however, is necessary. That's just my opinion, though.
