The present invention relates to the field of chocolate rum cakes.
Cakes are a form of sweet baked good that are usually made from flour, sugar, and other ingredients, such as fruit or chocolate.
There are two main categories of types of cake, butter (or shortened)and foam. The main difference between them is usually the content of fat. Butter cakes utilize butter, oil, or shortening. Foam cakes have little to no fat, but utilize whipped eggs (white, yolks, or both).
Examples of butter cakes include the classic yellow cake, yellow butter cakes, pound cakes, red velvet cakes, carrot cakes, upside down cake, devil's food cake, hummingbird cake,
Examples of foam cakes include sponge cakes, genoise cakes, angel food cake,
Hybrids between foam and butter cakes include chiffon cakes.
Most cakes employ flour. The use of flour makes these cakes unsuitable for use during
Jewish holidays and for those with wheat allergies.
The foregoing prior art does not describe the present invention.
The current invention provides numerous advantages over the prior art. This includes a flourless cake which is suitable for Jewish holidays and is gluten-free.
