Chocolate Cake without Flour

This chocolate cake doesn’t mess around. It is exactly what it’s name implies; a Divine Chocolate Cake Without flour. It’s texture is soft, light and everything I am looking for in a cake, yet it somehow manages to be completely gluten free.

I don’t know about you, but most of my experience with cakes without flour hasn’t been great – let’s just say, that none of them have ever made it onto my favorite list, and they certainly won’t make it onto this blog.
But this cake proves that gluten free chocolate cake can be just as delicious as regular chocolate cake.

Not only do this flourless chocolate cake have the most amazing texture, it’s also got a deep and rich taste of chocolate. Everyone loves this cake and it’s spongy texture.

The thing about nuts and chocolate is, that they work so well together. Nuts and chocolate seem to love each other and always brings out the best in each other. It’s a match made in heaven.

What’s great about this cake:

• It’s so easy and simple to make
• Few ingredients that create a great cake
• Can be made a day in advance
• Spongy and delicious texture
• Kinda healthy (I mean, it’s mostly nuts right?)

Making this cake is so easy – 30 minutes in the kitchen and the rest is just anticipation while the cake bakes away in the oven. I love serving this cake with vanilla ice cream and mixed fresh berries coated with a little lime zest and a dusting of sugar.
