Categories     Cake     Dessert     Bake     Kid-Friendly     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Birthday     Shower     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Soy Free     Kosher     Small Plates

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups blanched almond flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup agave nectar
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch cake pan with grapeseed oil and dust with almond flour.
  • In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda. In a medium bowl, combine the agave nectar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir the wet ingredients into the almond flour mixture until thoroughly combined. Scoop the batter into the prepared cake pan.
  • Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 1 hour, then serve.

Tips:

  • To ensure the cake's moistness, make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing. This will help the ingredients combine more evenly and result in a smooth, rich batter.
  • For a finer crumb, sift your dry ingredients (flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt) together before adding them to the wet ingredients.
  • For a gooey chocolate frosting, make sure your chocolate is finely chopped before adding it to the saucepan. This will help it melt smoothly and evenly.
  • If you don't have a double boiler, you can create one by placing a heatproof bowl over a saucepan filled with simmering water. Make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water.
  • Once the cake is baked, let it cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

This Agave Chocolate Cake recipe is a delightful treat for chocolate lovers. It's moist, rich, and has a delicious chocolate flavor that's sure to please everyone. The agave syrup adds a subtle sweetness and helps to keep the cake moist. The chocolate frosting is rich and creamy, and it pairs perfectly with the cake.
