Looking for something sweet in the run up to Christmas that can be eaten by everyone at the table?
My best friend and one of my uncles both eat gluten and
dairy free. And because of that, I can see just how difficult this can be! I (obviously) am all about the cooking and baking, but eliminating flour and butter and milk can be a tough
task.
Ground almonds are a fabulous substitute for flour in cakes
and brownies, and I use them in this way often. They really shine in this cake,
because it is supposed to be moist and not overly spongy. This is dark and
decadent and you wouldn’t even know it was lacking any “usual” ingredients.
It is also incredibly easy to make! And I have it on good authority from my uncle that it is a very good cake (he hadn't had a big slice of chocolate cake in a while!)
I couldn’t help myself so I topped it with a little glitter.
Some melted dark chocolate, thinned with coconut oil, and dripping down the sides would make an incredible glaze topping.
