11 oz Gluten-free Chocolate cake flour

1/3 cup butter

2 large eggs

2.6 oz Amaretto

4 oz milk

Frosting decoration:

4 oz cream cheese

3 tbsp Butter

2/3 cup Powder sugar

1/3 cup Cocoa powder

Syrup:

1 oz Amaretto

1 tbsp sugar

1/4 cup Cocoa powder sifted

1/4 oz water

Preparation:

The cake:

In the stand mixer the wet ingredients were mixed until smooth. The cake mix was added in heaping teaspoons, again mixing until smooth.

The loaf pan was coated with bundt cake pan spray before adding the batter.

The syrup:

In a small saucepan the water was heated before adding the sugar, cocoa and Amaretto. This was reduced to a syrup consistency and set aside to cool.

Once the cake was done it was turned out of the pan to cool. After 15 mins the syrup was added and allowed to cool completely before adding the frosting.

The Frosting:

The powder sugar and Cocoa were sifted together andset aside. The softened Butter and cream cheese were beaten with a whisk until smooth before adding the sugar Cocoa mix. The frosting was allowed to chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before piping around the bottom of the cake.

The cake!

Reviewing: Chicken sausage sweet potato and kale soup. 1 serving prepared Here's what you get: Forgot the cheese! Sweet potato Kale Italian chicken sausage mix Chili flake Yellow onion Italian seasoning Chicken stock concentrate Parmesan cheese Not used: Demi baguette The soup: Per instructions I started by cooking the onion and sausage together until the onions are browned and the sausage was cooked through. Next the sweet potatoes, stock concentrate and spice packet was added along with 1 in 1/4 cup of vegetable broth. After the soup was done simmering for 7 minutes per instruction I put the kale in and let it cook for an additional seven minutes. Side: Since I can't have the baguette I made some GF cheese crackers to go along with the soup today. The process for that will be posted at a later date. The plate: And flat bread - Kris
