Amazing Paleo Chocolate Cake (gluten-free, dairy-free)

almond flour

tapioca flour

coconut flour

coconut sugar

cacao powder

tsp baking soda

espresso powder

salt

eggs

full-fat coconut milk

water

coconut oil

apple cider vinegar

tsp vanilla extract

recipe Vegan Chocolate Buttercream Frosting

Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit.

Grease Pans

Grease three 8-inch cake pans and line the bottom with parchment paper. I prefer to grease my pans with ghee or organic palm shortening as coconut oil can leave a slight coconut taste. Set these aside.

Mix Dry Ingredients

Add all of the dry ingredients to a very large mixing bowl and whisk together.

Mix Wet Ingredients

Add all of the wet ingredients to a separate medium mixing bowl and whisk together. Then, pour the wet ingredients into the dry and whisk together for 1-2 minutes to create your cake batter.

Bake Cake

Evenly divide the batter between the three baking pans and cook for 28-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Frost Cake

Once the cake has completely cooled, assemble the cake by adding the chocolate buttercream frosting between each layer and frosting the outside.

This paleo chocolate cake recipe is fluffy, light and airy. It’s also unbelievably decadent, rich and moist. It’s the perfect dessert or birthday cake. You'd never know it was gluten-free, grain-free and dairy-free...which makes it pretty darn amazing (and delicious). Enjoy!

FOR THE LEMON CAKE:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Lightly coat three 6-inch round cake pans or two 8-inch cake pans with nonstick baking spray and line the bottom with parchment paper rounds. Set-aside.

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together. Set aside.

In a measuring cup, measure out the almond milk and add the vinegar. Allow to sit and curdle for about 5 minutes while you mix the other ingredients.

In another separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs, maple sugar, coconut oil, vanilla extract, lemon extract, lemon juice and lemon zest. Pour in the curdled milk and mix until combined.

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir until well combined.

Evenly divide the batter between the baking pans and smooth out the tops with a spatula. Bake for 19-24 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Allow cakes to cool in the cake pans for at least 30 minutes, then carefully remove from cake pans. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely to room temp before frosting.

Using a hand mixer or in the bowl of an electric stand mixer, add the softened butter and beat on high for 2 minutes until light and fluffy. Add the cream cheese and continue beating for an additional 3 minutes until combined. Slowly add the powdered sweetener, vanilla extract, lemon extract and lemon zest and almond milk and beat for 2-3 minutes until creamy and smooth. Cover and chill in the fridge until ready to frost.

Once the cake layers are completely cool, invert the bottom cake layer onto a cake stand or cake platter and add a layer of frosting, smoothing with a spatula. Repeat with remaining layers (and sides of the cake, if desired with remaining frosting). Decorate with lemon slices and chill in the fridge for an hour or two before slicing.

Store cake covered in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Wheat-based cakes *wish* they could be as tender and lofty as this paleo dairy-free almond flour carrot cake. Made with 1 bowl, 12 ingredients, and 15 minutes of active time, it&#039;s addictively moist and tested to perfection.

Moist Paleo Almond Flour Carrot Cake

carrots

(130 g) coconut sugar

olive oil

(110 g) blanched almond flour

(75 g) cassava flour ((I like Bob's Red Mill))

(14 g) tapioca flour ((I like Bob's Red Mill))

cinnamon

ginger

recipe paleo cream cheese frosting

Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350ºF.

Line an 8-inch square pan with 2 crisscrossing slings of parchment paper cut to fit.

Prepare Things

In a large bowl, stir together the grated carrots, eggs, sugar, and oil until combined.

Place a medium mesh strainer over the bowl and add the almond, cassava, and tapioca flours along with the baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and ginger.

Sift the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until well-combined. No need to worry about over-mixing since there&#39;s no gluten to toughen up!

Make the Batter

Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth into an even layer.

Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean, 25-35 minutes.

Remove the cake from the oven and let cool completely, 30-60 minutes. Use the parchment paper &quot;handles&quot; to remove the cake from the pan and onto a serving platter, removing the parchment paper if you wish.

Spread the paleo cream cheese frosting over the cooled cake. If the frosting is too soft to slice, chill the cake briefly (or up to 2 days).

Cut the cake into squares and serve.

Bake

My go to carrot cake or carrot muffins. I top them them with the cream cheese frosting. They could stay fresh in a container in the fridge for a week but they never last that long! Thank you for this wonderful recipe.

Paleo Lemon Blueberry Cake is made from a blend of almond flour, tapioca flour and coconut flour plus a good amount of fresh lemon juice and topped with blueberries.

Paleo Lemon Blueberry Cake

tsp salt

blueberries

lemons

tbsp apple cider vinegar

Pre-heat oven to 350° F (175° C).

Grease the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan with coconut oil or ghee. You can also line the bottom of the springform pan with parchment paper for easy removal.

Combine all dry ingredients (minus the blueberries) in a large bowl and stir.

Combine all wet ingredients in a bowl.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a hand-mixer on medium-high speed for about 30 seconds or until combined.

Pour half the batter into the springform pan and add 1/2 cup of the blueberries. Pour the remaining batter and add the rest of the blueberries on top of the batter.

Bake in the oven for 55-60 min. The batter will remain light colored on top, so use a toothpick to make sure the middle is cooked through.&nbsp;

Fantastic recipe! 
The only modification I made was that I used half of the suggested amount of blueberries.
Other than that, I followed it as suggested.
It’s the best cake I’ve tried so far!
Thank you so much!! 😊

I made this last night and I can’t wait to make it again!!  So good 😁  Thanks Lisa!

I made this cake today for the first time and wow! Absolutely delicious. The lemon is divine. I have been making your Amazing Paleo Chocolate Cake for family birthdays the last few years. To everyone's delight. But I think I may have found a new birthday cake favourite! Thank you Lisa. 💛

Made this along with some homemade whipped cream. Absolutely delicious. (This also being my first cake I’ve ever made, I’ll definitely be making it again!)

This cake is bursting with flavor and great for any occasion.  It’s healthy and easy to make. I will be adding this on repeat. Thank you.

I make this cake OFTEN and everyone loves it. I love the clean ingredients. It is my GO TO Cake. Question: the nutricial value you have listed, is that per slice or the entire cake?
