Oy my, you would mention ginger snaps. That's another of my weaknesses. (Are we related, I AM Irish.  ) I buy a GF one by Midel that is so good I have to hide the bag or I'll eat the whole thing in a few days. What's the filling in the ginger cookies you have over there?
Here is a recipe a GF friend gave me. She jokingly calls it Funeral Bread because she gives it out to relatives of a person she knows who has passed on and they never guess it's GF. I've had it, and it's good. You could make it IBS safe by subing the whole eggs with fake eggs or all whites and some of the oil (not all---it keeps it moist) with some baby food prunes or baby food applesauce, and the milk with soy or rice milk of course. She makes it in small loaf pans. I think I would add a few mini-chocolate chips just to add a bit more chocolate kick.
CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI BREAD
2 1/2 cups GF flour mix
1/2 cup cocoa
2 cups grated zucchini (peel first and seed only if large)
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp. cinnamon
2 cups sugar
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. vanilla
1 cup oil
3 eggs
Grease loaf pans..bake 350 degrees for 45+/- Min. Makes 2 loaves.

Not sure, although I am related to JFK so you never know... where are "your people" from or what is your Irish surname connection?) I buy a GF one by Midel that is so good I have to hide the bag or I'll eat the whole thing in a few days. What's the filling in the ginger cookies you have over there? its a creamy frosting thing, think ginger crunchy Oreos with the filling a creamy yummy soft icing. I just looked up the ingredients and there is dairy,but I'm still standing. My tummy likes sweet things, its red meat and raw onions and acidic fruit it hates 
Your recipe sounds great, I will get practising next week and will report back on how it all went.

it's the chocolate pecan fallen souffle cake in Eating for IBS. It has that very rich, dense, moist fudgy texture to it. There is a small amount of flour in there - but I've often wondered if that could be omitted, or at least substituted. Most of the cake's body is coming from the finely ground nuts.

my favorite is only high in fat in that there is a lot of solid melted chocolate in it- once I have some time (probably after the house goes on the market) I'll play with it- was thinking of trying to use cocoa a small amount of oil and applesauce just like I do for other recipes, but not sure what that will do to the texture...

the ingredients except for the raspberries, which I can pick up later.
Thanks Heather.
Either my eyes are playing tricks on me or you actually did take out the flour from the recipe. I didn't see any in it.
Sinead...this may be your answer to the luscious chocolate dessert you were looking for. I know I'm going to give it a whirl. I'm always looking for something great I can serve yet eat myself.~Kandee

so maybe it doesn't have any flour in it to begin with - whoops!
Also - you don't need the raspberry sauce. It's extra special if you make that, but normally I don't even bother.
Geez, now I'm getting hungry....

Thank you all so much. I will let you know how it goes, I need to try something out this week as her birthday is next week and I need to make sure that it works before I embarrass myself at work with a culinary disaster!

embarrass yourself...I'm sure of it.
If you've been doing normal baking all along you won't have a problem. If you want to make something easy that you know won't fail try the meringues or Heather's pecan fallen Soufflé. I'm going to try it hopefully today.
I know how appreciative she'll be when she sees what you've done for her, no matter how it turns out. I remember my first loaf of homemade wheat-free yeast bread and quick bread someone gave me. My face lit up for a week!!!  (it still does when I think about it)
