This is the best gluten free chocolate loaf cake I have ever had! It is delicious!! I lightened it up a little with only 3 T butter, 2 T grapseeed oil and 1 T almond oil. I also substituted one flaxseed “egg”(treated like a yolk) so that I only used 2 eggs and it was SCRUMPTIOUS! Don’t bother to veganize completely. I did and the result was like a chewy brownie which was edible but did not evoke sighs of complete contentment. I am going to bake this cake again with my original modifications since I did not miss any of the extra saturated fat at all.

Hello!

This cake looks amazing!
I have a 4×12 inch loaf pan and I was wondering whether I should double the recipe?

Thank you in advance!

Best wishes!

I would like to make this recipe, but we only have regular size loaf pans (it seems there are many different sizes)…I know someone mentioned that they just doubled the recipe…Does anyone else have any feedback on using a larger loaf pan??

[...] Gruss extols the benefits of Amaranth in her article. It is lower in carbohydrates and higher in fiber than other grains; high in lysine and other essential vitamins, and contains more digestible proteins than other grains. In addition, it is higher in fiber than other grains. So, why not substitute Amaranth for all of your other grains in baking? Gruss explains the end product would become too dense. Instead, substitute up to 1/3rd of the flour used. (Want a treat? Check out this recipe: Amaranth, Quinoa, and Dark Chocolate Cake.) [...]
