I am so happy that you have enjoyed them. Would love to hear about your cacao butter buttercream frosting. I just made a traditional buttercream frosting with agave for a cake for Nate’s 1/2 birthday but am always interested in other frosting recipes.

I am glad you found teff. I love it in cakes. It works especially well for layer cakes.

Good luck with your party!
Hugs,
Amy

Just wanted to say thank you for the recipe. I made these cupcakes for my daughters 4th birthday (she loves dark chocolate). They were moist and had a firm crumb.I made them twice once with coconut sugar and the other time with rapadura sugar both were great. The recipe also worked well as mini cupcakes. Due to ‘nut’ products not being allowed at my daughters preschool I used a cacao butter buttercream frosting.
I am looking forward to using your teff flour chocolate cake for her ‘snow white’ party cake on the weekend. I was lucky enough to find some teff flour recently, it is very difficult to get in Australia. I am busy creating an allergy free party menu. Once again thank you for the recipe, there is so much to learn about with allergy free baking.

I don’t count calories or carbs. It makes me crazy. Plus, I’m not a nutritionist and am not qualified to post them. Many gluten-free flours vary between brands and I couldn’t be sure I was giving accurate info. You can use SparkPeople.com to figure it out yourself if you want.

They still turned out awesome!! So moist, chocolatey and spongey. :) I didn’t have flax seeds, so I used about 1 tsp ground chia seeds, and then I used Silvana’s flour blend (rice flour, tapioca, potato starch, guar), and added some chocolate chunks to the batter too. Oh, and I used regular cane sugar because I didn’t have coconut sugar! Somehow though, they still turned out delectable. :) Thank you.
