Gluten Free Sacher Torte (Sachertorte) – Rich Chocolate Cake
I used to see the word “Sacher” written so elegantly on tops of small chocolate cakes and wondered what it was made of. I grew up and got married and took my husband’s name, Spacher. I always wanted to buy a sacher just so it looked like our last name. I finally did and fell in love with them! Continue reading “Gluten Free Sacher Torte (Sachertorte) – Rich Chocolate Cake”
Gluten Free Holiday Green Beans
While green beans are gluten free, not all brands of bacon are. I’ve been making this bacon and onion green bean casserole during the holidays for decades. It’s my favorite dish that I just can’t live without. My family loves it because I don’t skimp on the bacon. There’s nothing worse than being one of the last ones to dig in and have to dig for bacon. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my family has. Continue reading “Gluten Free Holiday Green Beans”

Gluten Free Chocolate Biscotti
I love these gluten free biscotti because they are moist. You can also make them dryer, if that is what you prefer. I’ve including baking instructions for both. However, they are not so dry that you have to have something to drink nearby. I like my biscotti closer to shortbread cookies, with just a little less butter. I think you’ll fall in love with these biscotti. Please leave me feedback once you’ve made them in a below comment. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Chocolate Biscotti”
How to Make Mayonnaise in 5 Minutes?
I discovered how to make mayonnaise much faster than traditional methods. I’ve tried using a high-powered mixer and food processor in the past, but they are extremely slow compared to this method. Using an immersion blender is the key! There are infinite variation possibilities. See the “Tips” section for suggestions.

Melt in Your Mouth Macarons (Egg-Free)
Macarons are French egg white cookies, that if made properly will melt in your mouth. While experimenting with the latest egg substitute, canned bean liquid, I used it to make these melt in your mouth macarons. Who knew you could achieve perfection with egg substitute? Meanwhile, I filled mine with some leftover chocolate ganache. You can use a number of fillings from jam to peanut butter and confectioners’ sugar. Enjoy!

Gluten Free Lady Fingers Recipe
You can easily make this gluten free lady fingers recipe by using my gluten free sponge cake recipe. (I have two recipes on this site for sponge cake, but I used the one calling for superfine rice flour.) The amount you make will vary, depending upon which pan you use. There are lady finger pans available, but you can get away with using a Hostess Twinkies Pan. You can also use a jelly roll pan and cut up individual pieces of cake. However, that method doesn’t look as nice and you are taking the chance of the cake crumbling. If you do try this method, prior to slicing, refrigerate the cake at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Meanwhile, now you can make traditional tiramisu and more!
