I found your website and this recipe in November and have been making it ever since. It is fabulous and well received. I made one for my pastry chef friend who adored it and the flavors – she said she would never have known it was gluten free cake. I have had to make modifications to the recipe because I often don’t have the time to make sure I have apple compote on hand. Plus I don’t like things too sweet. So my major modification was using my Beaba BabyCook to make a naturally sweet apple sauce with a little vanilla bean paste. So now, I can meet two needs – apple sauce for this beautiful cake and feeding my 10 month old some apple sauce with lovely flavors. Thank you for sharing!

Back again – I made the cake the other day for another event, and this time used almond flour made from almonds ground in a coffee grinder. The cake was even more amazing than the last time – I couldn’t have thought it possible!!

Oh thankyou I’m so often reading your blog and browsing the beautiful recipes and imagining making them… yesterday I made your vanilla crepes with a gluten-free flour blend (which turned out beautifully) and tonight spur of the moment made this beautiful cake. I had no quinoa flour so instead used extra of the buckwheat and hazelnut, and the result was a gloriously brilliant, dense, not too sweet chocolate cake. We dusted it with icing sugar in the shape of a four-leaf clover for St. Patrick’s Day.

I made this cake for a friend who can’t eat wheat. We couldn’t find any quinoa flour, and ended up with barley flour. The cake was wonderful, so wonderful that absolutely everyone liked it. In fact, someone called to tell me how good it was and then came over when he discovered there was some left. This is an absolutely brilliant cake and I highly recommend, especially if you like dark chocolate.

I was looking for ideas for a buckwheat/hazelnut flour baked good (I adore buckwheat!), and this looks decadent – I look foward to trying an adaptation of this recipe to fit my own allergies! thanks, as always, for such a marvelous recipe.
