AMAZING PALEO CHOCOLATE CAKE (GLUTEN-FREE, DAIRY-FREE)

This paleo chocolate cake recipe is fluffy, light and airy. It’s also unbelievably decadent, rich and moist. It’s the perfect dessert or birthday cake and has quickly become a reader favorite.

I’m not one to use superfluous words in my recipe titles unless something is truly extraordinary. Case in point: this amazing paleo chocolate cake. And yes, it really is amazing.

So much so, that I even debated leaving off the word “paleo.” Because I think you could offer up this chocolate cake recipe to someone who eats gluten and grains and they’d have no idea that it was gluten-free, grain-free and dairy-free. You guys, it’s incredibly delicious!

Unlike most paleo cake recipes, this version is light and airy while still moist and spongy. I mean, just look at those crumbs. There’s the perfect amount of air pockets in the cake yet it holds together like a real deal chocolate cake. But it’s a paleo chocolate cake.

INGREDIENTS

• cake dry ingredients
• 3 cups almond flour
• 1 cup tapioca flour
• 1/4 cup coconut flour
• 2 cups coconut sugar
• 1 1/2 cups raw cacao powder
• 2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp espresso powder
• 1 tsp salt
• cake wet ingredients
• 4 large eggs
• 1 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup coconut oil
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• chocolate frosting
• 1 recipe Vegan Chocolate Buttercream Frosting.

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit.
2. Grease three 8-inch cake pans and line the bottom with parchment paper. I prefer to grease my pans with ghee or organic palm shortening as coconut oil can leave a slight coconut taste. Set these aside.
3. Add all of the dry ingredients to a very large mixing bowl and whisk together.
