Gluten Free Chocolate Cake Recipe

So I had to find a way to have my cake and bake it too. This is not only a gluten free cake recipe but is also is sugar-free, dairy-free and uses organic ingredients. So whether you are a celiac, diabetics, lactose intolerant or just not wanting to have your thighs be as jiggly this is the chocolate cake to dive into.

I also have been cooking with some of the Healing Gourmet's desserts written by Kelley Herring. She is the Editor of Eat to Fight Cancer, Eat to Beat Diabetes, Eat to Lower Cholesterol and Eat to Boost Fertility. At the Healing Gourmet, Kelley Herring gives some great tips, suggestions and recipes on how to cook without gluten and often times without dairy.

4. In another bowl add the coconut oil and erythritol and beat with an electric mixer until fluffy.
5. Add remaining eggs to the coconut oil/erythritol mixture, beating for one minute after each addition. Pour bean batter into egg mixture and mix to combine. Stir in cocoa powder and water and beat the batter on high for one minute, until smooth.
6. Pour batter into pan and shake gently to evenly distribute.
7. Transfer to the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or when firm to the touch. 8. Cool and serve. (NOTE: This cake tastes best the next day as the flavors combine and the "beany" flavor dissipates).
