Aran Goyoaga

When it comes to sweet stuff, we all crave the classics. A gooey brownie, crisp at the edges. <a href="/recipes/gluten-free-chocolate-chip-cookies">Chocolate chip cookies</a> straight from the oven. <a href="/recipes/gluten-free-buckwheat-galette-from-cannelle-et-vanille-s-aran-goyoaga">Freshly baked pies</a> stuffed with fruit filling and crowned with generous scoops of <a href="/recipes/vanilla-bean-ice-cream">vanilla ice cream</a>. And, life being the tricky business it is, all of us should get to enjoy these comforting stalwarts from time to time—dietary restrictions notwithstanding. Enter baking genius Aran Goyoaga. Born to a family of professional bakers in Bilbao, Spain, she went gluten-free a few years back after being diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder. Since then, Goyoaga has developed a roster of incredible glutenless recipes, tackling everything from puff pastry to ricotta-packed gnudi and sharing the delicious results on her FOMO-inducing blog, <a href="http://www.cannellevanille.com/">Cannelle et Vanille</a>. Here, she’s sharing a gluten-free confection that satisfies our yen for another sweet staple: chocolate cake. Tender and moist, the cake gets its structure from whipped egg whites—simply fold the meringue in with the batter, bake, and there it is: an extraordinary dessert you can whip up whenever you need to treat yo’ self to something sophisticated yet simple, decadent yet light, utterly classic yet ingeniously reimagined for the modern diet.*OTHER PEOPLE’S IDEAS: A New Series from ChefSteps

At ChefSteps, we love to cook. And we love to share our top tips and techniques with you. But we’re not the boss of everything, and we learn from our friends and colleagues every day. That’s why we created Other People’s Ideas, a new series starring our favorite subject experts. These talented folks are here to help you tackle everything from soup dumplings to pizza pie—and have a ton of fun along the way. You down with OPI? Yeah you are. Let’s do this.*
