PRO Tip:
When you see your favorite chocolates on sale, stock up and save money! That way you’ll always have it on hand when you need to make chocolate for yourself, your friends, and family!
PRO Tip:
Whenever possible, weigh your dry ingredients, especially your flour blend, for the most consistent results. Once you get used to it, you’ll find it much easier and faster than using measuring cups!
Gluten-Free Tips:
You can adjust any recipe to gluten-free by using 120 grams per cup of my favorite gluten-free flour blend. If you are using another brand of gluten-free flour, whisk the mix, spoon it lightly into a measuring cup until mounded, level off the top with a straight edge, and weigh the flour left in the cup. Use that weight as your standard per cup of that specific flour. Do this for each flour blend you use. Commercial blends such as Pamela’s, Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1, or King Arthur Measure for Measure are all good choices.
*NOTE: The major gluten-free organizations have declared that distilled alcohols are gluten free. But some distillers may use caramel coloring or flavorings which sometimes contain gluten. For some very sensitive people this may cause issues. If you are making this cake for a very reactive person, or if they have Celiac disease, you can use potato vodka plus a little brown sugar in place of the liquor called for.
