Raise your hand if you love chocolate! Chocolate lovers rejoice with these Toblerone cakes. I first tried the chocolate bar while I was still studying in college. It was love from first bite… The crunch of the Honey & Almond nougat, and the beautiful milk Swiss chocolate, and the unusual pyramid shape made it much easier for me to fall in love with. Two days ago, I decided to take our love to another level and make a cake out of Toblerone chocolate. The warmth of the cinnamon in combination of the floral notes of orange and the melted chocolate, is simply irresistible! As usual,I tried to balance the sweetness of the chocolate and luckily, the results were successful.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes these cakes gluten-free if they use flour?
There is no wheat flour in the batter. The dry ingredients are 1 cup rice flour, 1/2 cup corn starch, and 1/2 cup almond meal. All three are naturally gluten-free, so no substitution is needed.
When does the chopped Toblerone go into the batter, and why fold instead of whisk?
The 1/2 cup of chopped Toblerone goes in last, folded in with a spatula after all the wet and dry ingredients are combined. Folding keeps the chunks intact so you get pockets of chocolate in the finished cake rather than it all melting into the batter during mixing.
How do I know when the cakes are done at 350 F?
Start checking at 15 minutes. The cakes are ready when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The cupcake tins should be filled only 2/3 full, so they bake through in 15 to 20 minutes. Let them cool before dusting with powdered sugar.
