Chocolate Almond Flour Cake with Broiled Peanut Butter Frosting

Chocolate Almond Flour Cake with Broiled Peanut Butter Frosting

This cake reminds me of my days in Texas. My bosses wife taught me how to make a quick chocolate cake with broiled peanut butter frosting, but it was a gluten cake and packed full of sugar. I have used that inspiration, and that wonderful cake to create this grain-free and refined sugar-free version.

 


The cake is sweetened with honey, and the frosting is sweetened with coconut sugar. These are both great sweetener options. Honey is considered a super food, because of its antioxidant qualities; and coconut sugar has a low glucose level making it a great substitute for diabetics or those just trying to watch their sugar in take. I love coconut sugar because it does NOT taste like coconut! It has a flavor like brown sugar! It’s great!

 


Frosting to me is a major part of the cake, however I am not a fan of making frosting! Quick frosting recipes like this one are just awesome! This cake recipe is definitely a family favorite and one of my favorite cakes to make for my birthday! I hope you enjoy it!

Ingredients
  

Chocolate Cake Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • ¼ cup melted butter or coconut oil
  • ⅓ cup honey
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tsp. vinegar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla

Broiled Peanut Butter Frosting

  • ¼ cup butter softened
  • ⅔ cup coconut sugar or packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup all natural peanut butter or any nut butter works
  • 2 Tbsp. almond milk or regular milk

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Using an 8X8 square baking dish, add all of your dry ingredients.
  • In a small mixing bowl add the wet ingredients and stir. Be careful that your melted butter isn't too hot, or your eggs will cook in the butter (not good!).
  • Add the wet ingredients to your dry ingredients, in the baking dish, and mix well using a small whisk or a fork. Make sure to get all the clumps out of the cocoa powder.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes.
  • While the cake is baking, mix together your frosting ingredients in a small mixing bowl.
  • Once cake comes out of the oven, pour frosting ingredients over the cake, spread evenly.
  • Set your oven on broil, and place the warm cake back in the oven. Let the frosting broil, but keep an eye on it! It will only take 10-15 seconds!!! Don't let the frosting burn.
  • Take it out of the oven, and let the cake cool a bit. It's best to eat warm, but even cold is delicious! Enjoy!
