Materials

  • For the Cake
  • 2/3 Cup Chocolate Chips
  • 1/2 Cup Butter
  • 1 oz Baking Chocolate
  • 1/2 Cup Sugar
  • 1 Cup Whole Canned Cranberries save the rest for the glaze
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 tsp Vanilla
  • 1/4 Cup Gluten Free Flour
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
  • For the Glaze
  • 1/4 Cup Whipping Cream
  • 1/2 Cup Chocolate Chips
  • 1/4 cup Pureed Canned Cranberries

Instructions

  • Prepare an 8" round baking pan. Cover with foil and coat with gluten free flour or cocoa powder.
  • Put the chocolate chips, baking chocolate and butter into a microwave safe mixing bowl. Microwave on high for 60 seconds, stir and microwave for 20 more seconds.
  • Add the sugar, cranberries, eggs and vanilla. Whisk until thoroughly combines.
  • Add the flour and baking powder. Mix well.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
  • Bake at 325° for 40 to 50 minutes. Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake after 40 minutes. If it comes out with wet batter on it, return the cake to the oven for another 5 minutes. Repeat the toothpick test to test for doneness.
  • Set the cake on a cooling rack for 30 minutes. Then put it in the refrigerator for an hour.
  • When the cake has cooled, loosen the foil from the pan edges, put a plate upside down over top of the pan and flip the whole thing over.  Carefully remove the foil from the top of the cake.
  • Make the glaze. Put the chocolate chips and whipping cream in a small microwave safe mixing bowl. Microwave for one minute and stir until smooth.
  • Put the remaining cranberries in a blender and puree until smooth. Add the cranberry puree to the chocolate and cream mixture and mix well.
  • Pour the glaze onto the middle of the cake. With a silicone or rubber spatula work the glaze around the top of the cake and let it run down the sides.
  • Refrigerate the cake for another hour. Decorate with edible flowers and serve.
