FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE | easy, gluten-free, paleo and keto friendly

[@Downshiftology]

Hi guys! After recipe testing this flourless chocolate cake for the last several weeks, I'm happy to finally share it with you! In addition to being gluten-free, it's a great recipe for those with nut allergies as there's no almond flour (or alternative flours) in this recipe. It's perfect for the holidays and I hope your family and friends love it as much as mine do. What would you top on your version? Let me know! xo - Lisa

[@MsOnitemi]

Downshiftology another fantastic recipe! Can you pls do a dairy-free gluten-free Mac and cheese? So hard to find a delicious recipe. Thank you!

[@RZCCroes]

Thank you for this recipe... will give it a try 😍

[@rajaadawood5171]

I love your recipe Lisa👌thanks 🌷I like to top my version with cocoa powder too🌷🌿💕

[@paulinedmn]

Downshiftology great work as always. Does it taste eggy?

[@poedjarin8895]

I just found your channel and I absolutely love your recipes 🙆🏻‍♀️ But I'm not pro at cooking so can you *please please please* make basic series for cooking? Like equipments needed, basic healthy recipes. Hope you gain more subs and views bc you deserve it!!

[@briankendalll2093]

4 years ago you posted this. Today, I made it. Delicious. Even my 8y.o. raved over the flavor. So rich and airy. Thank you!

[@nhlams]

Looks so yummy! May I suggest something? When the cake is done cooking shut your oven off and open the door a little and leave it in there for an hour. It may stop it from deflating and cracking....I do this for other things that I make and I am thinking it may work for this too. I am so thankful for you and all that you do for us. Even my husband loves many of your recipes.

[@Downshiftology]

Yes, that definitely helps with recipes like meringues and pavlovas. I don't mind the cracking, but it's worth a try if you'd like a little more lift in your cake. :) Glad you and your husband love my recipes Lyn! x

OMG...thank you for the tip, I hate when the cake sinks in and never understood why...now I know 👍🏼

[@jillianlaurenlisitano5686]

Hi Lyn, perfect tip! I also do a liner on the bottom with parchment paper. Sometimes O even line the sides of the baking pan. I have just discovered this channel and love all of Downshiftology 's videos.

[@Angelbxby2000]

Unfortunately it doesn't work guys (I wish it did tho 😔) I tried making this a few months ago and that's how I found out that it didn't work, not for me anyway, but that was a very smart idea to come up with! Other than that it was sooooo gooood y'all!!!!!!! 🤤🤤🤤🤤 I had a grandma and an 8 y/o to eat this and they both said it was BETTER than regular cake; even my man that hates regular cake said it was delicious and I could NOT believe it. 😀 Did a good job ma'am 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁 Edit: we didn't even use icing either, just sifted some powdered sugar on top! So good that it didn't even need icing 😋

[@KetoCookbooksCorner]

*This flourless chocolate cake is an absolute dream for chocolate lovers. Thank you for sharing this delightful recipe!*

[@irenalovesart4064]

I made this today. Amazing result and actually quite easy! I used sugar free chocolate bars and Added orange zest to the batter & creme of tartar to the whites. My oven needed a higher temp and a longer bake but the result is super gooey and delicious and guilt free

[@Downshiftology]

Wonderful! Glad this recipe turned out well for you 😊

[@irenalovesart4064]

I've made it twice now and also once as muffins... suggest butterring muffin tray A LOT though crumbs are also yum

[@lesathie6604]

I've just tried coconut sugar... it's delicious!!! With cool milk it tastes like malted milk shake...

[@chloetapani6306]

This was the best cake ever and so satisfying! I can’t believe it turned out so good with no flower. I used a shot of coffee because didn’t have espresso powder and it was amazing

[@mariabouloukaki2087]

I just made it! It looks so delicious and the house smells incredible.. I can't wait for the morning so I can taste it with a cup of coffee. Thank you

[@Downshiftology]

Can't wait for you to take the first bite! It's going to taste delicious with coffee 😊

[@RootandElevate]

How was it?

Glad you enjoyed this flourless chocolate cake!

[@st5362]

Just discovered this recipe whilst trying to make a Keto birthday cake for my son, whole family loved it, followed all directions and added the recommendations in the comments to open turned off oven after bake time and cool there first - no cracking and pretty good height! Subbed chocolate for Lily’s milk chocolate chips and coconut sugar for granulated monk fruit/erythritol blend...so grateful to have a winning cake recipe for the kids & husband (first recipe I tried elsewhere was a flop...wet crumb yuck lol!). Thank you again 😊

[@Downshiftology]

You're more than welcome! I'm happy you loved this recipe and were able to alter it to your tastes. :)

I love making the FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE - this year I also made a new version celled Torta Caprese - which is basically a flourless chocolate cake with a couple additional ingredients. I make bake my cake in a water bath and it does not creak, thought I would pass that helpful hint to you..

So happy to see this video today - I am in need of a gluten free dessert for my Christmas Eve guests and I am definitely going to make this as all of your recipes have worked perfectly for me in the past. Thanks so much for making these videos.

[@Downshiftology]

You're more than welcome Karen! I hope you enjoy this recipe. :) x

[@sagency]

It's so funny because the highlight of these videos is watching the first bite go into the mouth. Without that final step, the whole process is worthless! Even though I'm not tasting it myself, it's very satisfying to see someone else enjoy it! Looks quite yummy! I may even make it one day!

[@Arianacccosta]

I made this just an hour a ago ! It turns out so good , fluffy and creamy . So surprised about this texture, especially when it is a flourless recipe!

[@chipmalone2918]

I tried quite a few Keto chocolate cake recipes. This is the best flourless chocolate cake recipe. Thank you for sharing.

[@Downshiftology]

Glad you liked it!! 😊

[@diamontewings]

Just tried this recipe and it totally worked! Made a keto version with erythritol too. :) deflate - yes.. but no cracking!

I never realized you could make cake without flour. Wish I knew this years ago when I did an anti-candida diet for half a year.

[@mjrussell414]

MartyMonster Well, you wouldn't have wanted the sugar in your diet either.

[@cathyphegley7414]

So simple Lisa! And perfect for company who have allergies. And figure friendly! I so enjoy your videos and am thankful for your recipes💕

[@sarahfaith6531]

This isn’t really keto friendly. A cup of sugar is bonkers on that diet.

[@julieknudsen3036]

Have you ever added almond extract to this cake? Just found this recipe and will be making it tonight for my GF hubby’s birthday. We both love almond so wondering if you’ve tried it, if it works, and how much you used? Thank you for the best recipes always! I don’t look anywhere else now. ❤

[@celiavicente240]

I make one cake just like this one, except for the coconut sugar. I am going to try it next time. I cover mine with a ganache.

Can’t wait to make it! 🤍

[@HummerLove]

I must try this. It looks delicious.

[@gp9525]

Looks likes a winner. I am glad to see you offer a monk fruit sweetener option. Would equal parts of Swerve work in place of the coconut sugar?

[@Downshiftology]

Yes, you could swap 1:1. Enjoy! :)

[@Karen-lj6jf]

This was soooo good!

[@Downshiftology]

Going back for seconds and thirds usually confirms that, doesn't it? ;)

Thanks, oh and maybe some mason jar preps and some dehydrated goods. This is my favorite channel, I have subscribed because I am awesome. Lastly, Kombucha, Jun, Kefir and Yogurt are also very interesting for some; in case your looking for ideas. LOL

[@OneSun11]

I wonder if you could stop the timing 5 minutes early, turn the heat off and open the door wide open and let the time finish that way and let it cool in the oven to see if you can retain more height on the cake.

[@princesssecillie1721]

Love it! Thank you for sharing this recipe ❤️

[@celidagolobic2156]

Thank you!! If I want less sugar and less eggs, can I cut the recipe in half and it would still work? My family is just me and husband. We are trying to be frugal with desserts but it would be for his birthday cake! Please advise if possible❤️❤️
