Butter and Flour Free Chocolate Cake by Hungry JennyThis contains chickpeas which might sound strange but actually works really well! It doesn't taste particularly 'chickpea'-like and is still incredibly moist despite having no butter. You can easily make this completely gluten-free by using gluten-free baking powder too. This was made in an 8" square tin. |

My version of Nigella's Chocohotpot by Padma Priya ManikamThis is a dessert made by British chef Nigella and I have made it several times varrying a little. The original recipe calls for 4 ramikens but I bake mine in a rectangle oven-proof dish. I also use Van Houten's cooking chocolate. Below is the recipe adapted by me and for the original recipe kindly refer to the web link. |

Butter Free Chocolate Orange Rum Cake by Hungry JennyThese sunk a little when I made them, but I have adjusted the temperature and baking time so that this hopefully won't happen to you... Failing that, the chocolate icing is a good way to cover it up! http://hungryjenny.blogspot.com/2010/11/butter-free-chocolate-orange-rum-cake.html |
