Beschreibung

This gluten-free chocolate layer cake is a decadent treat perfect for birthdays or any special occasion. The moist, rich chocolate sponges are layered with a smooth and creamy chocolate buttercream frosting. I've been making this cake for years, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The secret is the combination of cocoa powder and instant coffee, which enhances the chocolate flavor. It's surprisingly easy to make, even without gluten! The cake is best enjoyed at room temperature, allowing the frosting to soften slightly. Feel free to add some chocolate shavings or fresh berries for an extra touch of elegance.

Bake the cakes

Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared tins. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool in the tins for 10 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.

With the Thermomix running at Stufe 3, gradually pour in the melted chocolate. Mix for 10 Sec./Stufe 3, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a spatula to ensure everything is well combined.

Assemble the cake

Once the cakes are completely cool, spread half of the icing over the top of one sponge. Sandwich the other sponge on top, with the flat bottom-side facing up. Spread the remaining icing around the top and sides of the cake, smoothing over with a palette knife. If desired, pipe some rosettes on top of the cake.
