Decadent Gluten Free Chocolate Cake 

This cake is very rich, borderline fudgy brownie. That is attributed to the almond flour used in this recipe. If you are a chocolate lover, this cake recipe will hold a special place near your heart. I serve this with coconut vanilla whipped cream to lighten up each bite with a bit of air. No matter how you choose to serve this chocolate cake, you will enjoy it.

Cut cake into two layers with serrated bread knife. With spatula spread frosting onto bottom layer evenly. Cover with top layer of cake and frost the top of cake with remaining chocolate frosting. Slice and serve


*Tooth Pick Test: Stick a clean toothpick or skewer into the middle of the cake if it comes out clean, the cake is ready. If it comes out almost clean with very little cake residue (my preference) pull the cake out at the baker’s discretion. If the toothpick comes out covered in cake residue and batter, keep baking the cake is not ready.
