Chocolate Almond Cake

It is always hard to find a recipe that will work for the dietary requirements for everyone in my extended family.  I was desperate to find a cake recipe that everyone could enjoy without having any discomforts from the ingredients.  This is a wonderful gluten-free cake that everyone can enjoy!  It is a cake I will make even when I do not need to have a gluten-free dessert option.  It is sweet and does not need to be iced if you do not have time.

Chocolate Almond Cake

2 cups almond flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup olive oil
2 eggs
1 tbsp vanilla
  1. Grease and flour a 9" cake pan and preheat he oven to 350.
  2. Combine the dry ingredients together.
  3. Warm the honey with the oil so they combine together and then mix in the vanilla and eggs.
  4. Combine the wet with the dry and stir until everything is moist.
  5. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minute or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.  Allow the cake to cool before you try to take it out of the pan.
