Chocolate Chinchilla Cake with Bananas Foster

You know I’m always on the hunt for naturally gluten-free and dairy-free dishes to share with you. So when I came across a Chocolate Chinchilla Cake in Sally Schmitt’s My Six California Kitchens, I knew I was going to have to break out my Bundt pan.   That first bite

Chocolate Chinchilla cake garnished with bananas foster sauce and edible orange and yellow flowers. On a dark blue platter with a silver cake server and a gray linen tablecloth.
