Notes
This recipe was tested with Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free Flour Blend. Other gluten free blends may work, but they have not been tested.
This cake sounds amazing. I am going to try it with cup4cup gluten free flour. I just found your website today and all of your recipes sound amazing.
I am so glad you found my site and gluten free recipes! I hope you enjoy the GF Mississippi Mud Cake.
The cake ingredients list pecans, yet nowhere in the recipe does it say when to add them. The cake ingredients list vanilla, and, again, vanilla doesn’t appear in the instructions. Please advise.
Thank you
I fixed the recipe. I am sorry about that.
