Gluten free German Chocolate Cake
This gluten free cake is moist, delicious, rich, and flavorful, I mean holy smokes talk about a treat this one is it by far. I remember when I was growing up that this was my father's very favorite cake, my mother used to make this for him on his birthday. I remember how much I used to love it. This cake does take a little while to prepare but it is worth the extra time in the end. You will fall in love with this cake as I did when I was a little girl. I haven't had this cake since being diagnosed with Celiac.
I thought it was time that I wrote a recipe to make this family favorite gluten free. I hope you enjoy this cake as much as my family and I. Rachelle
