Recipe for a chocolate cake that does not contain flour milk or butter?
Flourless, Milk-Free, Butter-Free Chocolate Cake
This recipe uses almond flour, coconut milk, and avocado to create a decadent, moist, and flavorful cake.
Ingredients:
* Cake:
* 1 ½ cups almond flour
* ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
* ½ teaspoon baking powder
* ½ teaspoon baking soda
* ½ teaspoon salt
* ¾ cup granulated sugar
* 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk (full-fat)
* ¼ cup avocado, mashed
* 2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1 teaspoon espresso powder (optional, for deeper flavor)
* Chocolate Ganache (optional):
* 1 cup vegan chocolate chips
* ½ cup unsweetened coconut milk
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar, coconut milk, avocado, applesauce, vanilla extract, and espresso powder (if using).
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
For the chocolate ganache:
1. Place chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl.
2. Heat coconut milk in a saucepan over low heat until it is simmering.
3. Pour hot coconut milk over the chocolate chips and stir until melted and smooth.
4. Pour the ganache over the cooled cake and let it set.
Tips:
* For a more intense chocolate flavor, use Dutch-processed cocoa powder.
* You can substitute the applesauce with mashed banana for a sweeter flavor.
* If you are using a different brand of almond flour, you may need to adjust the amount of liquid in the recipe.
* The ganache can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator.
Enjoy your delicious and healthy flourless, milk-free, and butter-free chocolate cake!
