I have searched the message board for a Chocolate Cake that is Gluten Free and has no coffee in it. I am looking for one that is not thick and heavy but more fluffy like. I have searched through the board and cant find one - have tried a few recipes but they are heavy and more pudding/desert like.

Nigella has a chocolate orange recipe. Will see if I can find it.
I acutally don't bother about boiling the orange. I zest the orange, then cut off the white bittter part, put everything in a blender ( not the white part. Throw that away) and blitz and then carry on with the recipe

I doubt that you'll find a light fluffy guten-free cake unless you use a commercial mix.I'll give you my favourite chocolate cake, which is moist and dense.Everyone loves it.
Preheat oven to 160° C.Butter an 18 cm round tin and line bottom with baking paper.
Put chocolate, brandy & coffee in a bowl over hot water and allow to melt undisturbed.Stir gently to combine.Add butter & sugar and combine.Add almonds and mix well.Beat egg yolks and mix in well.
Beat egg whites until firm, beat in a large tab. then pour chocolate mixture into remaining whites and fold in gently.
Pour into tin and bake 40 – 45 min until almost set but still a little soft in the centre.Cool completely in tin (best overnight).Turn out carefully.

Sophie Gray - Destitute gourmet - has a Gluten Free version of her Dana's Chocolate Cake in her book "Enjoy" .My sister who is Gluten Free - said its wonderful and everyone ate it up happily not realising it was GF

I have had the best success with normal recipes but use orgran gluten free flour mix instead of normal flour. My 8 year old is very fussy on texture but have always had success this way
