We used the recipe from the Baker's German's Sweet Chocolate bar, but subbed in our gluten free flours*.
We did "cheat" and used Betty Crocker's Coconut Pecan frosting.Gluten Free flour substitution
*2 cups flour =
1 1/4 c Rice Flour
6 Tbs + 2 tsp Potato Starch
3 Tbs + 1 tsp Tapioca Starch
2 tsp Xanthum Gum
Original Baker's German's Sweet Chocolate Cake

1 tsp. Baking soda

1 cup Butter, softened
2 cups Sugar
1 tsp. Vanilla
1 cup Buttermilk
HEAT oven to 350°F.
COVER bottoms of 3 (9-inch) round pans with waxed paper; spray sides with cooking spray. Microwave chocolate and water in large microwaveable bowl on HIGH 1-1/2 to 2 min. or until chocolate is almost melted, stirring after 1 min. Stir until chocolate is completely melted.
BEAT egg whites in small bowl with mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form; set aside. Mix flour, baking soda and salt. Beat butter and sugar in large bowl with mixer until light and fluffy. Add egg yolks, 1 at a time, beating well after each. Blend in melted chocolate and vanilla. Add flour mixture alternately with buttermilk, beating until well blended after each addition.
