Gluten Free Chocolate Souffle Birthday Cake



I made this chocolate soufflé cake today for a friends birthday. She needed a cake that was gluten free, corn free, and it needed a healthy sugar since she is diabetic. I used the recipe, "Lighter than air cake." You can see the recipe on this site at http://glutenfreetraining.blogspot.com/2010/05/lighter-than-air-chocolat-cake.html
It was very easy to make. I used two 8 inch round cake pans. For the frosting I put in 2 extra Tablespoons of blended xylitol (I put xylitol in my magic bullet and blended it to make powdered sugar). This made it just stiff enough to be able to decorate the cake. I used a silk rose for part of the decoration. She was so happy to have a cake for her birthday tomorrow.
