Paleo Chocolate Espresso Cake image

My husband loves chocolate and so does most of our family! I must be weird because chocolate has never been a first choice for me but every now and then I may take a little corner. I had just mixed up some fresh almond butter at my local store and had all of the other ingredients to create this paleo chocolate espresso cake and it was a big hit!

1 teaspoon melted coconut oil, or as needed
1 cup almond butter
4 large eggs, beaten

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I still liked it. The texture was good, and the chocolate ganache was delicious. I'll definitely be making this cake again, but I'll use less sweetener next time.

I'm not a fan of espresso, but I still enjoyed this cake. The chocolate flavor was rich and decadent, and the ganache was to die for. I'll definitely be making this cake again, but I'll omit the espresso next time.

This cake was a bit too dense for my taste, but the flavor was still good. I think I would prefer a lighter, more fluffy cake next time.

This cake was absolutely delicious! The chocolate and espresso flavors were perfectly balanced, and the texture was moist and fluffy. I'm not a huge fan of frosting, but the chocolate ganache was light and airy, and it didn't overpower the cake.
