Healthy version of a regular chocolate cake. Very easy to make and super delicious. I always buy whole almonds and make the almond meal myself in the food processor. It’s cheaper and fresher with lots more almond flavour than the almond meal you buy at the shops.
Chocolate Cake With Almond Meal – No Flour
- 250g butter
- 1 cup raw sugar
- 3tbs water
- 3tbs pure cacao
- dash of vanilla
Bring to a boil on medium heat while stirring. Pour a 1/3 cup off and save for later. Leave the rest in the pot and let it cool to room temperature. Then add the following:
- 4-5 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups grind almonds or almond meal
- 2tsp baking powder
Blend it all together with an electric mixer. Pour into a heat-proof dish or tin lined with baking paper and bake in a preheated oven at 170°C for until ready. This could take about 30-45 minutes depending on the tin that you use. The more flat the cake, the quicker done. Make a toothpick taste if you are not sure. Take the cake out of the oven and let it cool down for a few minutes. Pour the 1/3 cup of the chocolate icing you saved over the cake and let it cool down.
Enjoy! 🙂
