Some cakes are just meant to be....like a classic chocolate cake. There are days when nothing else will do, only a no-frill chocolate cake with gooey frosting. Decadent, yes, but simple and comforting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just the kind of cake I wanted to share with some of my amazing friends when we met for a fun-filled, Sunday afternoon! Here's the twist in the story ( there always is, right?) I wanted to make it gluten-free, so this Buckwheat Chocolate Layer Cake w\/ Salted Dark Chocolate Frosting<\/strong> happened!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buckwheat flour<\/strong> is my favorite alternate flour to bake with. Then adapting my most dependable old chocolate layer cake recipe into a gluten-free one, using buckwheat,  was a no-brainer.  Not a single ingredient was altered. Nor was any measurement touched. And it worked! So beautifully that this has really become my go-to gluten-free chocolate cake recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I strongly suggest keeping a close eye on the baking time though.  Mine were done in about 22 minutes.  This is not the cake you can risk overbaking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite all that frosting and the jam filling, the cake is not<\/em> achingly sweet. I did choose a jam that's got a sour note to it and there is cocoa in the frosting and in the batter.  Over the years, I have dialed down on the sugar used in the cake from 1 1\/2 cups ( yes, I'm shuddering too!) to 3\/4 of a cup. Trust me, it only makes the chocolate flavor stand out more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cake is soft, moist and so luxurious.  Look at that crumb....! The deep, rich, dark chocolate flavor comes through beautifully. The frosting is creamy velvety smooth. And yet it doesn't feel too heavy at all. So go ahead have two slices, and enjoy.... It's a chocoholic's dream come true!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So if there is one no-fail<\/em> chocolate cake recipe you need, this is it, folks!  Whether you choose to make it with all-purpose or buckwheat flour...this really is it.  I hope you will try this and enjoy it as much as we do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
