Matthew's mom makes the most amazing chocolate fudge cake, and guess who figured out how to make it gluten free!!

can I get a hallelujah?

because i love you, i'll share the recipe.  you can thank me later.

Coffee-Orange Fudge Cake

1 pkg. Devil’s Food Cake Mix (use betty crocker gluten free mix in a yellow box)

8 oz. sour cream

½ cup Canola oil

½ cup water

4 eggs

4 oz. instant fudge pudding (I use Jello chocolate fudge for gluten free)

¼ cup Starbucks (or other) coffee liqueur……or you can use 2 TBS. instant coffee in ¼ cup of water

2 TBS. finely shredded orange peel (I usually don’t put the orange peel in it)

1 tsp. cinnamon

1 (12 oz.) bag semi-sweet chocolate chips (I use nestles for GF)

Mix the above ingredients together EXCEPT the chocolate chips.

Mix at medium speed for 4 minutes.

Stir in the chocolate chips.

Pour in bundt pan sprayed with Pam (etc.)

Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes.

FROSTING

3 cups sifted powdered sugar

¼ cup unsweetened coca 

½ cup skim milk

1 ½ tsp vanilla

½ tsp salt

Mix all ingredients together to spreadable consistency.  This frosting hardens quickly, so if it becomes too thick, pop it in the microwave for a couple of seconds.
