    The easiest way to make The Best Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake with a special everyday ingredient that makes it moist and so delicious!!

    A slice of The best Gluten Free Chocolate Cake

    Ok ..... I can't rave about this Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake enough!  It really is The Best Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake!!

    This cake is moist, full of chocolate flavour, only uses one bowl for the cake mixture (love that) and so easy to make...

    only 5 really easy steps!

    After a little experimenting, I have created the gluten-free chocolate cake that you can whip up quickly when friends or family are coming around or you need to take it for a get-together. It doesn't take long to cook (no waiting around for 50 minutes for this to cook ...only 25 minutes!) AND it stays moist! Yes, I know that gluten-free cakes often don't taste as great the next day...but this one does!! 🙂

    The Best Gluten Free Chocolate Cake with Cream Topping

    So what is the 'special everyday ingredient' I hear you ask??

    1 cup of black coffee

    yes....

    black coffee!! 

    (I used a decaffeinated one but you could use whatever flavour or strength of coffee you like.)

    The coffee gives the gluten-free chocolate cake a full-bodied flavour  - without the taste of coffee!

    (If you would like a stronger taste of coffee in the cake, simply use a stronger coffee.)

    This gluten-free cake recipe uses coconut flour and some almond meal/flour - so no need to worry about gluten-free flour mixes. It is topped with whipped cream with a hint of honey that just goes so well with this chocolate cake.

    So here are the easy 5 steps!

    Delicious and The Best Gluten Free Chocolate Cake

    The Easy Steps to The Best Gluten Free Chocolate Cake Recipe!

    Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 180ºC and line a square cake tin with baking paper.

    Add to a bowl and whisk!

    • 5 eggs
    • ½ cup of olive oil
    • 1 cup of caster sugar
    • 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
