Hi Kim,

I saw that yummy visual over at BYC, I'm "Sally's Chickens" over there.

The peaches look so yummy too! Didn't you can those yourself?

Welcome to SUFFICIENT SELF!!

Thanks for the welcome. I've been hanging around BYC for about a year and decided to look around at the other boards.

Yes, I canned the peaches. Almost all of the canned food we eat is our own homecanning. DH helps ...no children, so we can for us and farmers market sales.

I need a source for raw milk/cream. I can't make that fabulous looking ice cream recipe!

HAHA my boyfriend was so surprised that I made a big ol' chocolate cake since we've been avoiding gluten and refined sugar lately.... he thought I just jumped ship and used cake mix. That means success! He laughed when I told him what it was.

Thanks!

It does not surprise me that the cake was good. Most of the Gluten Free cakes are made with Garbanzo bean flour. They are actually quite good. It just takes some getting used to the idea of eating a bean cake. One thing for sure, if you add enough chocolate ANYTHING is edible!

OMG!!!!!! That cake is great!

Hubby was shocked when I whispered the truth to him while whipping up some fresh whipped cream. He had to try it immediately, claimed he would never have guessed.

Victim #2 was the little sickie, i mean princess. She had been feeling better and saw a cake with whipped cream on a cooking show and was drooling.....she delicately ate the whole thing, never said a word other that "really? I can have cake??"

Victim #3 Proclaimed loudly "This is AWESOME! It's just like the chocolate lava cake at Chilis!" ....um, not really

Victim #4 Thought is tasted different. This is also the child that could walk into a room at age three and demand to know who had been eating chocolate....so her senses are a bit more refined than the average.

Victims #5 & 6 Well, I have no idea how they responded as I was asleep when they hit the kitchen after work. I can only assume by the enormous dent in the cake that they liked it.

Thanks for posting this Sally! Great recipe!
I want to try white bean and lemon now!!!

Here goes. I'm making the cake tonight. I just re-read the recipe and object STRONGLY to this line:

"Allow to fully cool and ideally, let sit for a few hours prior to serving."

Yeah, right.
