This gluten free treat is good for you!! From the new cookbook by Sophia Handschuh this recipe will be on regular chocolate rotation, guilt free.

Sophia’s newest cookbook is in our store and this recipe is just one of the delicious morsels you will find in amongst it’s pages. I have to say, she is on a roll! This recipe is moist and delicious, gluten free, quick to mix up and get in the oven and so fragrant you will be hanging around the kitchen just waiting for it to cool down so you can tuck in.

Don’t forget the ice cream, or double cream to go with it! (You have been warned!!)

My name is Sophia and I am a baking fanatic, food blogger and Digital Marketing consultant. I am originally from Germany and have been a passionate foodie since I was five years old. I live in London with my partner and believe in taking time to cook and bake creates a great work-life balance. I am always looking for new ways to experiment with unique and quirky ingredients to make beautifully home cooked meals with the Thermomix. I learned baking mostly from my dad who became a baker when he was sixteen. We have shared many fun memories about baking and I have developed a true passion for it. In August 2015 I finally decided to start a blog, sharing the love I have for baking and creating a platform for everyone to learn and get inspired. In my blog I write about great recipes that you can make with or without the Thermomix. I will show you tips and tricks on how to make the most of your spare time. In my recipes I write about my memories from childhood and Germany. My 90-year old grandma plays an integral part in many of my recipes. She taught me many of the traditional recipes that I still bake on a regular basis. I hope that you enjoy reading the blog and discover the wonderful world of Thermomix recipes. http://thermomixbakingblogger.com
