Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, and Sugar-Free Chocolate Cake

This cake has no flour, sugar or butter… are you calling BS yet? Before you immediately close this page, please give it a chance. It will honestly change the way you see desserts forever.

I have zero allergies and I’m not a particular heath freak either so obviously when my cousin proposed this cake at a family get-together, my general thoughts were along the lines of, “ehh… can’t we just get a normal cake like every other year?”

But I’m so #blessed this recipe came into my life because it’s absolutely guilt-free and fudgier than any regular cake I’ve ever had. All the taste without adding to your waist.

Flourless Chocolate Cake

• Step 1

  Preheat the oven to 325°F and collect all the ingredients.

  

• Step 2

  Place almonds in a blender (a Vitamix works the best) and pulse until ground into a coarse powder. Be careful to not blend too much because then you’ll end up with almond butter!

  

• Step 3

  Combine almond meal, cocoa powder and baking soda in a large bowl.

  

• Step 4

  Place dates in the blender and blend until a thick paste has formed.

  

• Step 5

  Combine the date paste, eggs, vanilla and melted coconut oil in a smaller bowl.

  

• Step 6

  Add the wet to the dry slowly while continuously mixing until the batter is consistent.

  Note: Batter will be somewhat chunky because of the almonds. Don’t worry, it just makes it better!

  

• Step 7

  Grease up the baking pan well and evenly with coconut oil.

  

• Step 8

  Pour batter into pan and even it out with a spatula.

  

• Step 9

  Bake for approximately 25 minutes, checking to see if a toothpick comes out clean. I personally like to undercook mine (around 20 minutes) so it comes out more fudgy like a brownie.

  

• Step 10

  Top with fresh fruit or nuts and enjoy!
