highlyeccentricThe ancestral recipe for this is the King Arthur Flour Co's recipe, with the "hot coffee + cocoa" trick borrowed from "Jan's Mud Cake" in the Penninsula Community Pre-School Cookbook 1994 (I think 1994. Maybe 1995?). I've posted it before, but have improved on it since. I just made a version for the Tortenessen festival in Bern, which I managed to figure out to be vegan, gf, soy-free, lentil-free, free of unspecified lethins, and nut-free. And it still tasted good!

This will never be the prettiest or the most impressive cake available for any given dietary exclusion, but it tastes good, and it's so simple that it does cover a whole slew of exclusions in one go. If you were allergic to maize starch, say, as well as gluten, a bit of experimenting with diy flour mixes would probably work. If it fails to rise, you end up closer to a soft chocolate slice, but it still tastes okay.
Meanwhile, the Tortenessen was fun. I will post about my adventures signing up for "check and restock the toilets" at anarchist off-grid camp on a NOT food related post in my own journal. But the cake. I've never seen so many gluten-free cakes in one place. Amazing.
