No reviews

This Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake is incredibly moist, fudgy, and full of deep chocolate flavor. Made with almond flour instead of wheat flour, it stays tender and rich with a texture similar to a flourless cake but lighter. It’s easy to make, naturally gluten-free, and perfect for birthdays, celebrations, or everyday dessert cravings.

  • Cake stays moist for 3–4 days at room temperature.
  • Add 1 tsp instant coffee to enhance chocolate flavor.
