Healthy Chocolate Cake
Healthy chocolate cake where you can make one 8" or 9" round cake or 4 - 3" wide cakes shaped in ice cream cone or fun cookie cutter shape (your choice). Great for parties and all ages!
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup almond milk, plus additional (add as needed)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder + 1 tsp
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tbsp all purpose flour
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 1/2 tsp light olive oil (or neutral oil)
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Mix ingredients by hand with a spoon. Almond flour is a gluten-free flour that will make a softer batter. Work in enough wet ingredients so the batter falls off the spoon together. The batter will be noticeably more grainy and less gloppy/smooth than a full gluten flour batter. For chocolate cake sandwiches, roll out to about 1/4 inch thick.
- Bake at 325°F for about 20 minutes (or until a toothpick comes out clean). Don't overbake or you'll get cookies.Sometimes the bottom is still moist, so if you use a springform cake pan, you can take a small peek or simply add another 5-10 minutes to ensure it's dry at the bottom. When you bake at low temps and slow, you don't have to worry about burning your cake and still getting a little rise.
- Let cool, frost, and enjoy!
