Notes
*EGFG flour blend: 300g sweet rice flour, 300g potato starch, 200g sorghum flour, 200g millet flour
Bundt cake is baked and cooled right in the pan. Baking the cake until done ensures that your cake will come out of the pan cleanly when inverted.
Variation: This cake is also delicious with a caramel drizzle on top of the chocolate glaze. If you're a salted caramel fan, add a sprinkling at the last minute. For something completely different, cover this cake in cream cheese frosting and garnish with edible flowers.
