I just popped onto my phone to post this comment...watching on the tele! Exactly what has happened that you are calling your talent "rubbish"? I believe we have all been there...look at our current skills and compare to an earlier time...romanticized by memories. You, sir, have an amazing talent...you teach and say things like, "if you don't like this spice, leave it out", "season it how you like it" and my favorite, "don't worry about it". This is what sets you apart from the rest! You are loved and adored, Rik!
You are definitely one of a minority of UA-camr’s whose recipes are easy to follow, and we don’t have to watch every cut, chop or dice to the very last,,, your videos move on to the next step soon after you’ve shown us a snippet of “how to do it”, therefore, they are never boring to watch 👏👏👏
You're just about the only baker/chef/cook whatever, that makes food in a calm way. Watching you make anything is relaxing none of that screaching, swearing, rush rush rush. Thankyou😊!!!
Rik “back yard chef” to be honest Rik you are a terrific chef in my opinion, I’ll tell you why I say this it’s because you my friend are down to earth with your cooking skills and your baking skills. It’s a pleasure to watch your very informative videos. When I make your dishes it’s always an easy task because you put me at ease, so thanks so much mate 👍👍
First the mashed potato gluten free pizza and now this wonderful gluten free chocolate cake yumminess! Often cooking from scratch without wheat flour can be quite daunting! Would you please consider a video on a gluten free flour mix that we could make at home? Having to eat gluten free such an expensive way to go,due to health reasons. A loaf of g.f.bread is $7 US dollars and it only makes 5 sandwiches! it would be terrific to be able to bypass the grocery store expense for a tiny bag of their gluten free version! Thank you Rik,for sharing your knowledge ❤
Rik you know how I am an advocate for all things, gluten-free. The most difficult to replicate, for not only look and taste. This looks amazing. Next time, sprinkle the🎉🎉❤ parchment paper with cornflour. I speak from experience. 10/10 for this amazing GF cake/gateaux 🎉
Brilliant Rik absolutely wonderful!!! That looks delicious and nice and rich!! Will be giving this a go for my sister in law as she is Slovakian and a chocoholic!!! This will go down a treat!!! Note to you Rik, you are brilliant at everything you do- far from rubbish and never useless!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
Hi Rik, thank you for making this amazing looking GF cake. I’m celiac and I’ve been looking for a GF chocolate cake. I do make your recipes, and change them to GF when possible . Thanks for thinking of us people who can’t tolerate gluten. Best wishes from down under Australia 🇦🇺🐨
Wow. That looks totally amazing. There's nothing rubbish about that, Rik. I can't wait to make one for my daughter. I'm sure she'll be making her own soon too. Fabulous 👍
Rik, I'm nowhere near as experienced as you, i dont think I'll ever get any better with a piping bag. Your piping looks pretty good to me, who's going to see it inside that gorgeous cake anyway? Love your channel ❤
I’ve never had flourless cake, but this looks Amazing❣️😋 Rik…your recipes are so diverse and interesting, we never know what you’re making next…LOVE IT, Tracie 🙌♥️
Thank You. If you have chance to try this - its ridiculously good. I try to vary everyday there are many on here with different dietary needs - I can't give any medical advice - I can cook. Best, Rik
Wonderful one, Rik! It looks perfect done like in Viennes pastry shops, amazing! Next time bake a chocolate cake I will take your recipe for sure. Thanks and kind regards!
I'll be taking this recipie down for my friend who's kids and her all have coeliac disease and struggle to get gluten free cakes unless she makes it herself this looks decadent thanks rik❤❤😊😊😊
Dearest Rick, hello from Poland❤ I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for this recepie. My husband is diabetic therefore can't eat white flower or sugar. As the matter of fact he is vegan so I don't use cow's milk as well. I made your cake with 30% soya cream, soya vanila flavour milk, sucralose and sweetex for cold stuff, and I used milk chocolate with stevia. The cake is the best chocolate cake I have EVER eaten. Thank you so much❤❤❤❤. P/s we DO USE eggs.
A show-stopper for sure. For the newbies: When whipping egg whites make sure there is no yolk in the whites. It will prevent the whites from whipping properly. Notice how Rik's whites never have any yolk in them? Break your eggs over a small bowl, separate, and only use the whites where you've cleanly separated the yolks. Make sure the bowl and beaters are clean and oil/yolk free. See how Rik beats the whites first? Then he can move on to mixing the yolks. It's OK if there's some white in the yolks, just not the other way around. Just a PSA for new bakers.
A thumbs up is completely inadequate! A gold medal is more apprpriate in this case, and I'll be sharing this with all my celiac friends and family. Thank you!
Rik, you are a genius, so you are the one to ask... I have no trouble with gluten, but it's the carbs!! I know you can help me! Low carb recipes for us diabetic and diabetic-adjacent! 😁

I trust you, Rik, to pull off a GF cake. Many recipes out there are really not very good. Your recipes and directions always work. Also, we really appreciate the easily seen ingredients. Who wants to watch an entire video just to learn later that they don’t have (and maybe can’t get) the ingredients!
Hi Rik, that looks absolutely fantastic and I will make it, I like the idea its flourless cause I am a type 2 diabetic, would it affect it at all if I cut back on some of the sugar, as always Thank you Sir and may God richly Bless you and yours.
hi Rik, love your supportive way of explaining things! did you change your oven? my sister is coming over for easter and I know what I am going to make for dessert! you are not rubbish, Rik! What are you saying? Could I use agar-agar?
Sadly, I'm a day behind watching this and so I'm too late to make it for Mr Fox's birthday (which is today). Thanks Rik, never had a flourless cake before but as you made it, I'm willing to wager it's bloomin' lovely! Think I'll wait until Valentines and give it a go then. x
@@BackyardChef Bless you Rik. Mr Fox is chortling away and says he is very appreciative of the influences you have (had on me and therefore) sent his way!
Personal recommendation//suggestion here, Rik. Lidl and Aldi do a fantastic line in high cocoa solids chocolate bars which are fantastic for eating, making sauces and baking. It's far tastier than cooking chocolate IF you can source it.
"Rik"and "rubbish" should never be spoken in the same breath! You are amazing and this looks divine!
Oh wow! Appreciated. Thank You. Best, Rik
