The Chalkboard Bakes: Gluten-Free Chocolate Orange Loaf Cake

Remember when the words "gluten-free" and "cake" conjured images of a brick-like slab of flavorlessness, better suited as a doorstop than a tasty treat? Sweet Laurel Bakery is one of our favorite bakers to change all that. Her insane cakes and other baked goodies have inspired us to take our fall baking fixation full-speed ahead this year! Kitchy Kitchen's Claire Thomas shares about the pivotal moment she tried Laurel's chocolate orange loaf cake for the first time... This is the cake. This is the cake that made me turn to Laurel, mouth full, and say, "You need to start a baking company." I'm sure there were more crumbs than syllables when I said it, but the message came through just the same. I love this cake so much. It's like a classic pound cake, but with less heft, and the orange and dark chocolate compliment each other perfectly. Plus, the giant shards of chocolate add such a rustic and dramatic look to the whole thing. So pretty!
