Lots of nuts and lots of chocolate… What can be better, really? This is a moist and delicious gluten-free chocolate cake that is loved by both adults and kids. It’s very easy to put together and uses simple ingredients. Usually, it doesn’t last very long in my house and I am sure it won’t last long in yours as well!

 

This is my favorite gluten free chocolate cake because it has so many nuts in it. Nuts and chocolate is a winning combination if you ask me!

It’s also fairly simple to make and you can make it with or without flour. I don’t have a problem with flour, but for the purpose of showing how to make it gluten-free, I used almond flour here (only two tablespoons).

 

Simple, Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake…

I keep it on the kitchen counter and it doesn’t last very long here. I seem to drink more coffee when this cake it around ;-).

I used raw peanuts because I have a huge bag of them in my freezer, but you can use any kind of nut. I love making this cake with walnuts (that’s my favorite). You can use roasted nuts or raw nuts.
