Strawberry Gluten Free Chocolate Cake For 2
- 3/4 cups Coconut Sugar
- 10 Tablespoons Unsweetened Apple Sauce
- 2 Large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 14 Tablespoons Almond Flour (90g)
- 1/4 cups Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 2 Tablespoons Coconut Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1/4 teaspoons Salt
- 5 Tablespoons Almond Coconut Dark Chocolate Spread
- 4 Large Strawberries, Sliced, Plus Additional For Topping
- Preheat oven to 350u0b0F and line the bottom of 2 8x8 inch pans with parchment paper, spraying the sides with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, using an electric hand mixer, beat coconut sugar and apple sauce until moistened. Add eggs and vanilla and beat again until well mixed.
- Add almond flour, cocoa powder, coconut flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk until well mixed, making sure there are no clumps of cocoa powder.
- Divide the batter between the pans and spread out evenly. Bake until cakes darken, edges pull away from the sides, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Let cool completely on the counter.
- Once completely cooled, use a 3-inch biscuit cutter to cut out 6 circles from the pans. (You will not need all the cake here-I highly recommend mixing it with more chocolate spread and making cake balls! It's also great over ice cream!)
- Place one of the circles bottom-side up on a plate. Spread 2 1/2 teaspoons of the chocolate coconut spread on top of it evenly. Place 1 of the strawberries (all the slices from one strawberry) on the cake. Then, spread 1/2 teaspoon of the chocolate spread very thinly on the bottom side of another circle. Place this circle, chocolate-side-down, on top of the strawberries, pressing very lightly to adhere it. Repeat the process.
- Once you get to the top layer, spread 1/2 tablespoon of the chocolate spread on top and garnish with additional strawberries. Repeat with the other mini cake! Devour!
- Note: As always, I highly recommend weighing flour to ensure results.
