Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 0.5 cup tapioca flour
- 0.5 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 3 large eggs
- 0.75 cup coconut sugar
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup coconut oil (melted)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup maple syrup
- 0.5 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with coconut oil or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, tapioca flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and sea salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, coconut sugar, almond milk, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and maple syrup until smooth and fully integrated.
Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and use a spatula to spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, prepare the Paleo chocolate glaze: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the dairy-free chocolate chips with 2 tablespoons of almond milk, stirring frequently until smooth. Remove from heat.
When the cake is done, let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Pour the warm chocolate glaze over the top, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle chopped pecans on top if desired, then let the cake cool completely to allow the glaze to set.
Slice the cake into squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
