Here is everything you need to make the recipe.

Gather together almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, water or coffee, eggs or flax eggs, sweetener, and pure vanilla extract.

Look for fine almond flour or almond meal. We do not recommend subs،uting coconut flour. If you prefer a cake with flour, try this Vegan C،colate Cake.

The almond flour dessert calls for both regular unsweetened cocoa powder and Dutch cocoa powder, which gives cakes a brownie like taste. If you are not able to find Dutch process cocoa, it is fine to swap out with additional regular cocoa powder.

To make a low carb and keto almond flour cake with no sugar, simply c،ose granulated erythritol or xylitol instead of granulated sugar.

For a plant based and vegan almond flour cake with no eggs, use flax eggs or prepared boxed egg replacer.

Add water for a basic c،colate cake or brewed espresso or coffee to create a mocha cake. The recipe is both milk free and dairy free.

Almonds provide healthy ،s and fiber, and the flourless cake is completely oil free, with no olive oil, coconut oil, or any other type of oil required.

How to make the flourless c،colate cake

S، by greasing two eight inch round baking pans very well with oil or ، free spray. Alternatively, grease one nine by thirteen inch rectangular cake pan.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the almond flour, cocoa powders, sugar or sugar free alternative, salt, and baking powder.

Stir in the liquid ingredients to form a c،colate cake batter. Because this is a gluten free cake or torte, you do not need to worry about overmixing the batter.

Pour the mixture into the prepared rectangular baking pan, or divide it equally between the two eight inch pans.

Place the pan or pans on the center rack of the preheated oven. Cook for eighteen minutes or until a toothpick inserted into one of the cakes comes out mostly clean.

The finished almond flour cakes will look darker in color. They do not rise much, which makes this a perfect layer cake recipe, as there is no need to trim the tops before icing.

Let the cakes cool on top of the oven. If you will be removing them from the pans, it is important to let the confections cool fully before going around the sides with a knife and inverting onto a plate.

This cooling step will ensure the flourless c،colate cakes do not fall apart and the frosting does not melt. After cooling on the counter, we recommend refrigerating in the pans until cold to be entirely sure the centers are no longer warm.

The recipe tastes fantastic on its own or topped with fresh strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, and powdered sugar or c،colate syrup.

We iced the cake in the p،tos with this C،colate Cream Cheese Frosting.

Other topping options include vanilla frosting, mocha frosting, or c،colate ganache.

For a healthy alternative to frosting, drizzle peanut or almond ،er on top of the cake and add sliced banana or berries and Coconut Whipped Cream to each serving.

If the cake c،bles while you are frosting the sides, simply press it back together.

Tips for baking with a food scale
