#GlutenFree Chocolate Almond Cloudless Cake for #SundaySupper



#Glutenfree Chocolate Almond Cloudless Cake


The other day when I was thinking about what I could make for Sunday Supper Valentine’s Day in a way that only #SundaySupper could. I knew I wanted to make a #Gluten Free Dessert that everyone would want so after a long week in the desert.  I came up with this updated #Glutenfree Chocolate Almond Cloudless Cake. Which I'm sure you will enjoy. 

Around this house, Valentine’s Day is a family affair.  We celebrate as a family, and we usually take turns on who's in charge of the meal; this year it's my Hubby's turn. He will have to make the Dinner & Dessert plus wait on me and my daughter. In addition to we do not believe in buying cards it's all about the home made gift and present. It's the day that comes from your heart so that's how we celebrate. No store bought gifts are allowed here.
Now on to the recipe
Serves 12 Individual ramekins or one large that can be sliced.
Flour less Chocolate Cake Ingredients:
8 Eggs separated in two separate bowls
1/3 cup sugar
½ cup butter
1 2/3 cups of Chocolate Chips Semi Sweet
1 1/2 teaspoons Almond extract
Gluten Free Cooking Spray
Garnish with Whipped cream Chocolate Syrup or Sliced Strawberries (Optional)

Equipment needed
12 small ramekins or 1 large Ramekin 
1 large lined cookie Sheet
Either Parchment Paper or a Silpat for Cookie Sheet
A mixer with a whisk


Separate Eggs in two large bowls








Beat Eggs about 3 minutes until stiff peaks form and set aside.

Next add Sugar to yolks and Almond Extract and beat about 3 minutes until a ribbon is formed and color will be like margarine.

Next take your Chocolate Chips and Butter and melt in 30 second intervals until totally melted stirring every 30 seconds. 

Tip of the day every Microwave oven cooks differently it could take 3 or 4 or maybe even 5 30 second intervals it all depends but don't forget to stir.

 Next add melted chocolate to eggs a little bit at a time so it gets tempered.

Next take half of the Egg whites and fold into Chocolate mixture.

Folding in the other half too.

Until it looks like this.

Now you have to decide do you want individual ramekins that can be garnished like this. 

Next spray ramekin large or small then pour into container.

Next bake in convection oven at 350 degrees for 18 to 20 min for small or 28 to 30 min for large.

Remember every oven is different so you probably want to watch through window. Do not open oven can make dessert fall!

 Let cool before you slice if making a large one, if you are making a small one just eat right out of ramekin and cool for at least 15 min.

Our Heart is broken for the victims and their families, of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings

In honor of the Sandy Hook Victims #SundaySupper live chat cancelled


As a mother of one child, I can’t imagine what I would do if this happened to me. A lot of you don't know my story and today is not the day to share my miracle story about Miss J. However, my heart is broken,   I can't think or even believe that a horrific tragedy like this could take place in this country.  I know  that there is any parent that isn't left feeling vulnerable and wondering - how could this happen in a place where we thought our children were safest?

In honor of the Sandy Victims and their families, #SundaySupper live chat scheduled for 7 pm Eastern Time will be cancelled this week.   We had our Holiday Appetizers and Cocktails Party scheduled for this week but the Sunday Supper Team felt that in honor of these families, it would be best to cancel this event.

I am once again reminded of the importance our Sunday Supper Movement.  Bringing back Sunday Supper Around the Family Table in every home week after week.  It starts off as one day a week and soon becomes a way of life.  The best gift we can give our children is the realization that life is precious, every moment is a special moment.

Let this be a time when we renew our faith in the power of love and realize the importance of time with our families.

As the Sandy Hook community and our nation grieves, organizations are setting up ways to help through donations and support.

An official fund for victims' families, and the community as a whole, has now been established: The Sandy Hook School Support Fund, set up by the United Way of Western Connecticut will provide support services to families and the community. All donations to this fund will go directly to those affected.

The Red Cross has also been on the ground, offering food and water to first responders, and providing more than 50 units of blood to Danbury hospital where some of the victims were transported. They have set up a center for emergency grief counseling.

You can send words of support and messages for families affected in an evergram here. They will be collated and given to the families in the future.

Please keep all of the victims in your thoughts and prayers and hold your babies each and every night. I will continue to pray for families everywhere that no family should ever have to experience this kind of grief.

Regards,

Sheila.
