Chocolate Cake Delight

The perfect no fuss, whole food dessert! Even though it’s gluten free, it still has that fluffy chocolate texture with a decadent depth of flavour. As an alternative, you could slice it up into pieces for a little tasty lunch treat. Enjoy!


INGREDIENTS:


  • Gluten-free chocolate cake mix like Lulubelle, Namaste, or Stellar Eats
  • Or make from scratch with gluten-free flour, sugar of choice, baking powder, and cocoa powder!
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup of your preferred oil
  • ¾ cup of your preferred milk



INSTRUCTIONS


  1. Preheat the oven to 340F. Mix together the cake mix, eggs, oil and milk and stir till you reach a smooth consistency.
  2. Then pour into a cake pan and bake for 25 – 35 min or until a fork comes out clean.
  3. Top it off with a dusting of icing sugar and your favourite shaved chocolate.
