Texas Sheet Cake (Flour, Grain & Gluten-Free)

March 21, 2015 By satisfyingeats

Texas Sheet CakeIt’s been a long week… heck, it’s been a long year! I love my little guys but they are 90 to nothin’ and this mama hasn’t had time to do anything! Well, I am coming out of recipe posting freeze to bring you this delicious recipe! It’s amazing that this cake is gluten-free, grain-free and can be made nut and dairy-free and still taste amazing! This tastes just like the ones you get from a gluten free bakery. I should have called it my Magic Cake!

If your event is held indoors whether it is a big hall or someone’s home, feel free to use a filling that has to be refrigerated. Cream cheese, custards, pastry cream, whipped cream, puddings, and any mousse type fillings that include fresh fruit are perfect for these venues. Cakes can remain refrigerated until right before serving. Let people know when they request these fillings that there needs to be space in the refrigerator to store the cake until serving. A lot of people fill the refrigerators with everything else and then have to scramble to find room for the cake. It cannot sit out for a long period of time or there will be a disaster.

The art of decorating cakes takes place when a man or woman has turned the kitchen into an art studio. you will get more art related info here also you will get business idea from it. When a cake is decorated in an artistic design it is pleasing to both the creator and the recipient. Creating a cake does not have to be a stressful experience, you just need to get creative. Don’t be afraid to try new ideas and techniques. For the amateur, it is the simple cake decorating tips, which are the best ways to help you get started. Decorating can be as simple as using a stencil and dusting confectioner’s sugar or cocoa powder on the top of a cake. You can buy the best durian cake in Singapore here.

Chocolate cakes are absolutely one of the all time favorites. There is a big selection of chocolate cakes, with varying ingredients. An important element in a chocolate cake is the intensity of chocolate, especially in devil’s food cake. Ingredients such as liqueurs, vanilla extracts, or liquid flavor i.e. coffee are used by many bakers to enhance and bring out different properties in the chocolate flavor. Also, numerous professional chefs and bakers have experimented unique flavors to chocolate cakes. Some examples of chocolate cakes with flavor combinations include Black Forest gateau, Bûche de Noël, and German Chocolate Cake

I love this cake because it’s CHOCOLATE, moist and not only is it grain-free but it is also flour-less! I also topped it with my 2-Minute Chocolate Frosting! Yeah, this cake is pretty amazing!

Baking Tips:

I used unsalted almond butter but you can use peanut or sunflower seed butter. This recipe calls for 2 cups but if you only need a small cake, free to half the recipe, bake it in a 9 inch cake pan and adjust the cooking time as needed. The key is to not over cook the cake. I personally prefer the cake to be underdone than over done!

If  you want to lower the carbs even more, omit the chocolate chips in the cake and use THIS ganache recipe for the frosting! If you are looking for a dairy-free ganache, use this RECIPE.

I hope you enjoy!

XOXO Melissa

Ingredients
  1. Cake

    • 18 oz. (2 cups) unsalted natural almond butter, peanut butter or sunflower seed butter (for nut-free)*
    • 3 tablespoons salted butter (or coconut oil for dairy-free)*
    • ½ tablespoon apple cider vinegar
    • ½ tablespoon baking soda
    • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
    • ½ cup mashed banana (or more unsweetened applesauce)
    • ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons raw cacao powder
    • 4 large eggs
    • ¾ teaspoon Stevia Select Stevia or sweetener of choice
    • 2 tablespoons coconut sugar or sweetener of choice (optional)
    • ½ tablespoon vanilla extract
    • 2 tablespoons cold coffee
    • ¼ cup 70% Extra Dark Chocolate Chips (optional)

    *If using a salted nut butter, use unsalted butter

    2-Minute Frosting

    • 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
    • 4 oz. Semi to Bittersweet Chocolate (or 60-70% Cacao), chopped*

     

Instructions
  1. Cake

    Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a medium bowl (or blender), add the almond butter and butter and blend until smooth. Then add baking soda and vinegar. As soon as the vinegar and soda react, add the remaining ingredients. Blend until batter is smooth. Taste for sweetness and adjust if needed.

    Butter the bottom of a 9X13 inch baking pan. Pour batter into prepared pan and spread batter out evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the center is just done but don't let it cook so long it starts to crack on the top. The key to this cake is to not over cooking it. Allow cake to cool 10-15 minutes before topping with frosting. 

    2-Ingredient Frosting

    Add heavy cream to a small pot over medium heat. As soon as the cream begins to get hot to the touch or you see little bubbles start to form on the sides of the pot, turn off heat and whisk in chocolate pieces until the chocolate is melted. 

    *You can use a darker chocolate you may need to add additional sweetness to the ganache. I used 60% so that I didn't have to add anything else to the recipe. 

    You can pour warm frosting over the warm cake and serve immediately or let it sit to get to room temperature. Be sure to serve with Vanilla Bean Gelato!
