About this recipe
So I know this chocolate cake looks a bit weird because it ballooned up and then caved back in. But the taste is insanely good! This is the most delicious chocolate cake I have ever eaten. And it’s low-carb too.
The amounts are for a small baking tray. I used an oven-proof tray (7.5 x 5.5 Inch) made of glass that comes with a lid so I can store the cake right in there. If you want to make a full-sized cake, just double the ingredients.
Chocolate Cake
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 pinch salt
- 3 bananas
- 4 tbsp cocoa
- 1 egg
- 1 vegan egg (1 tbsp ground linseeds mixed with 3 tbsp water)
- 70 ml Kefir or milk
- 70 ml vegetable oil for example sunflower oil
- 100 ml boiled water
Instructions
- Mix your vegan egg and put it into the fridge for 15 minutes.
- Line a small square baking tray with baking paper.
- Mix the almond flour, baking powder, baking soda and a pinch of salt together in a large bowl.
- Mash up the bananas in a flat bowl. I used a soup plate. Just make sure it is big enough because now you add the cocoa powder. Keep mashing and mixing with a spoon until you have smooth chocolaty mass.
- Add the egg and the vegan egg to the almond flour and beat it with a hand mixer.
- Add the Kefir and the vegetable oil. Keep mixing.
- Add the banana chocolate mix and mix until everything is well combined.
- Now mix in the boiling water a little bit at a time. The mixture is very liquid. That's normal.
- Pour it into your lined baking tray (7.5 x 5.5 Inch) and bake at 180 degrees Celcius (fan) for 35 minutes or until the top is solid to the touch.
- Once the cake is done, leave it to cool completely in the tin before you move it. I'm using an oven-proof container with a lid so I just keep my cake in there.
- Here comes the hardest part: Only eat your cake the next day. I know. But it's worth the wait! Enjoy.
Notes
Variations
Vegan
Use 2 vegan eggs and replace the kefir with oat milk, or any nut milk you enjoy, like almond or coconut milk. You might have to experiment a bit with the amounts though depending on the consistency of the milk replacement you are using.

Wholegrain Apple Mango Muffins
About this recipeThese wholegrain apple mango muffins were my first try using wholegrain flour as the base for my mix. The result is sooooo good! They are fluffy and thanks to the apple deliciously sweet. Store the muffins in an air-tight container outside the fridge...
