Chocolate Almond Flour Cake
Report
Here's how to make the best Chocolate Almond Flour Cake. It's grain-free and Paleo-friendly, and is the perfect gluten-free desert to make for a birthday!

Ingredients
- 3/4 cup blanched almond flour (88 grams)
- 1/2 cup cacao powder (41 grams)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder (8 grams)
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt (3 grams)
- 3/4 cup maple syrup (240 grams)
- 4 large eggs (200 grams)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (9 grams)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (23 grams; or other oil)

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF and prepare two 6-inch pans or one 8-inch pan. Lightly grease the pan with oil, then press a square of parchment paper in the bottom to ensure easy removal later. The oil will help hold the parchment paper in place, so it won't wiggle around.
- In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, cacao powder, baking powder, salt, maple syrup, eggs, vanilla, and olive oil. Use a whisk to mix until smooth, breaking up any clumps.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan(s) then bake at 350ºF until the center puffs up and feels relatively firm to a light touch. This takes about 28 to 30 minutes for the 6-inch pans, and 35 to 38 minutes for the 8-inch pan, but you can start watching the cake about 5 minutes earlier, in case your oven is different than mine.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting. If you need to frost the two-layer cake, you might want to make a double batch of frosting to have plenty for the sides and middle layer. This cake is very moist, so store it tightly covered in the fridge for up to 5 days. I like to bring it to room temperature for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes
- Nutrition information is for 1 of 8 slices, but you can cut this cake into even thinner slices if you want to! It's very rich. This information is automatically calculated, and is just an estimate, not a guarantee.
- See the full post for more substitution suggestions and a vanilla variation. (And a vegan one!)
