Made this today as we are a paleo family and where sick of the paleo cookies/muffins. My husband said, “I’m craving chocolate cake” so off I searched and here I am. I don’t like cake but oh my gosh this is good!!! Always nervous trying new recipes on paleo as sometimes it is a flop. This one however? Nope!! Everything from the cake to the frosting is very delicious. The frosting taste reminds me of a light, whipped pudding. The benefits of cocao powdet are great so thats always a plus. Eating something delishes with added health benefits. Also, my 3 and 4 year old kept asking for more so you know its good coming from the little humans! 11/10 recommend, thank you!!

In reply to Izzy. Hi Izzy - Unfortunately, the coconut sugar crystals help to provide all those mini air pockets that make this cake so delicious. Honey or maple syrup would create a much more dense cake.

Hi I’m planning to make this soon and wondered if this has ever been tested without coconut sugar. I’m looking to use monk fruit sweetener instead, or honey/maple syrup.

There is no reason to ever buy a box of cake mix again. I made this for my son’s 5th birthday in January (along with the cupcakes). 1000% will be making again. Rich, moist, and delicious- it checks all the boxes!

I make this for all the birthdays in my house, unless someone requests a non chocolate cake. And yes, one cup of strong brewed coffee can easily substitute for the expresso powder and one cup of water. The resulting cake is rich, super moist, and disappears quickly. We love it!

This cake was better than most gluten dairy chocolate cakes I have had. It was def more ingredients that usual but totally worth it!! My 7 year old loved it too!! Thanks for a delicious recipe!
