Sometimes you want chocolate cake! A lot of grain free cake recipes use almond flour, but this uses coconut flour, so it is also nut free, which is great for those who can’t tolerate nuts. You can also bake this in a cake pan, but I use muffin tins so I can use what we need and easily freeze the balance to enjoy later.
