Gluten Free Black Forest Cake
Back to all recipes.This is a traditional German dessert we have put our twist on, as well as being gluten free this version is also dairy free, usually, as a gateau this scrumptious cake would be covered in cream and chocolate flakes on the outside but we just love it being naked! We have given it three delicious chocolate tiers with cherry jam and simple butter cream filling.
