Ok, so here is a wicked Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake Recipe..... This pregnant woman is NOT doing without sweets due to wheat causing reflux in pregnancy :P

Gluten Free Chocolate Cake

2 eggs
1 cup caster sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons of butter
3 1/2 tablespoons of cocoa (I prefer raw cacao personally... very yummy, and healthier due to higher antioxidants)
4 tablespoons of boiling water
1 cup almond meal
1/4 cup self raising gluten free flour
1/2 cup milk

1. Preheat oven to 180*c and put patty papers into tray. Separate eggs - beat egg yolks with sugar and butter.
2. Sift almond meal and flour together 3 times. Add to egg and beat until well combined. Add milk and mix in thoroughly.
3. Combine water and cocoa and leave to cool.
4. Beat egg whites until soft peaks form.
5. Add choc mix to batter and beat in well. Fold in egg whites gently.
6. Put 1/4 of a cup of batter into patty pans - this way you'll get 12.
7. Bake for 15-18 mins or until skewer comes out clean.

Enjoy!
