    four hear shaped gluten free almond cocoa cakes

    This recipe for gluten free almond cocoa cake is easy to make and full of delicious chocolate flavor! This is the best cake if you want something moist, simple and fluffy.

    I got these adorable silicone heart cake molds in the dollar spot at Target. We always check the dollar spot as I go in and sometimes I find something awesome (like these hearts) and sometimes I come up empty handed.

    I greased the silicone cake molds with coconut oil. The cakes came out of them super easy after they had cooled. I used white chocolate shavings on these cakes, but you could easily sprinkle some powdered sugar on them and that would be amazing also.

    How do I make moist almond flour cake?

    This gluten free almond cocoa cake is moist because of the butter and eggs. The extra eggs help the cake to be moist and fluffy. This cake is very rich and decadent!

    It is key that you beat the eggs, brown sugar, vanilla and salt until they are frothy. Then blend in the melted butter and cocoa powder combo along with the almond flour. Doing these steps help keep the cake airy and moist.

    What is flourless almond cake?

    This gluten free almond cocoa cake is made without any type of regular flour. The flour used is simply almonds milled into a fine powder and used as a "flour". So, technically this cake doesn't have any flour in it and can be called flourless.

    Ingredients

    Units Scale

    ¾ cup Unsalted Butter, chopped
