Yield 9 slices

Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour (or try this Keto Cake)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tbsp ground flax or 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup sugar or xylitol for a sugar free cake
  • 1/4 cup additional sugar OR 1/8 tsp uncut stevia
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips or more as desired (do not omit)
  • 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups frozen cauliflower (or 3/4 cup yogurt, mashed banana, or pumpkin)
  • 1/2 cup milk of choice (omit if using eggs)
  • 3 tbsp oil or additional milk of choice

Instructions

  • *Flour options that work well include spelt flour, white flour, or some brands of all purpose gluten free flour. For the best results, be sure to use frozen cauliflower instead of fresh, and do not omit the chocolate chips.
    To make the healthy chocolate cake recipe, start by thawing the cauliflower in the refrigerator or in a bowl on the counter. Preheat your oven to 350F, and grease an 8 inch baking dish. Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl, and mix very well. Combine all liquid ingredients and the cauliflower in a food processor and blend until smooth, so there are no lumps. (If going with the cauliflower free option, you do not need to use a food processor.) Pour wet into dry, and mix until just combined, then pour into prepared pan and bake 30 minutes. Let cool completely. If you can wait, I recommend very loosely covering with a towel and refrigerating overnight because the taste and texture are better the next day. Frosting options are included above.
