Gluten Free Cake @ The Cheesecake Shop
It was Aubrey’s 40th birthday and we had friends over for drinks and nibbles and needed cake so went into The Cheesecake Shop to get a black forrest cake for everyone. I was planning on being cake free as over Easter and school holidays have over indulged. But there was a sign at The Cheesecake Shop saying try our gluten free chocolate mud cake so on impulse bought a whole one! I was impressed as the staff member tells me they are baked in a dedicated facility and then plastic wrapped and sent down to Bunbury. Of course this means has been frozen and the list of ingredients is long, probably not the healthiest choice but for convenience factor worth buying and great for a kids birthday cake! It tastes delicious, not that different from their other chocolate mud cake, but best warmed slightly with some vanilla ice cream! (I like the Weiss for a gluten free vanilla bean ice cream)

Thanks for this post! My workplace does this thing where we are given each other’s birthdays and get a cake for your assigned person. My cake receiver is gluten free–which is a struggle on my end, as I’m not comfortable baking in my non-gluten free kitchen but feel cheap getting a cake from Coles or Woolies. Cheesecake Shop has been my other option, and it’s good to be able to see what I’d actually be receiving.
