Paleo Flourless Chocolate Cake
Flourless cakes are not hard to make. I came up with my own version that has healthy ingredients so you can feel good about eating this decadent chocolate treat. You can thank me later.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 6 eggs divided
- 3 Tbsp coconut oil
- 6 ounces dark chocolate
- ½ cup raw honey
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
- Pinch sea salt
- Mushroom coffee optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper and grease the whole thing with coconut oil.
- Chop the chocolate into small pieces so they melt easier.
- Remove double boiler from heat and set aside.
- Combine egg yolks, vanilla, and melted chocolate.
- In a medium bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Slowly add coconut sugar to egg whites.
- Using a rubber spatula, fold the egg white mixture into melted chocolate, making sure not to work the batter too much.
- Allow the cake to cool completely and transfer to a serving plate, the cake will settle once it is cooled and the center will sink a bit.
- Serve with a dusting of cocoa powder, whipped cream (or coconut whipped cream), or chocolate ganache.
Notes
Sometimes, I like to give my chocolate treats a mocha flavor. When I do this, I just add one packet of my favorite coffee to the mix. This stuff is a super healthy mushroom coffee, so it makes the chocolate treat a healthy mocha treat! You can find it HERE and you can use the coupon code “REALFOODRN” to get 10% off your order.
