Chocolate cake is always a favourite, especially for Valentine’s Day! There are many different kinds of chocolate cake and recently I have been particularly enjoying flourless chocolate cakes like this one which uses almond flour rather than regular flour. This chocolate cake is light and super moist! It’s also really easy to make starting out by melting chocolate into butter followed my mixing in the egg yolks, sugar and almond flower. The egg whites are whipped before being folded into the batter and this adds a nice lightness to the cake! All that’s left is to bake the cake and wait for it to cool a bit before digging in! This cake is amazing all by itself and you can also top it with whipped cream or even ice cream!

I love desserts made with ground almonds/almond flour. This looks easy enough to get the kids to do. Thanks.

I just made this and it is so so good! But I baked mine in a muffin pan so I won’t have to deal with cutting it. Super yummy! I will be making it again. Thank you so much for the recipe
Nice chocolate cake with almond flour Wow! will try soon.
I am thrilled to find this flourless cake on Closet Cooking! I never was a big fan before, of this type of cake, but since being diagnosed as a diabetic, these recipes make it easy to stay on track and still have sweets. I substitute sugar replacements (such as Swerve or Allulose) for the white sugar in the recipe, and it cuts the carbs down to 10g carbs for a serving; which is pretty good! It also cuts 64 calories off per serving. I don’t think it gets any better than that!! Thank you for a delicious, flexible recipe!
