I am making this cake weekly around here. It’s a constant source of sweet joy! There is nothing unhealthy about it, so it’s my guilt free answer to my love for dessert or a sweet midday snack.

My favorite way to eat a piece is with a dollop of Coconut Cream scooped straight out of the can and a few organic blueberries or Harry’s Strawberries on top, and when I’m feeling extra extra I sprinkle a few additional Lily’s baking chips on the pile.

Vegan Paleo Sugar Free Chocolate Cake

Satisfy your sweet tooth but keep it low glycemic with this yummy chocolate cake recipe made from Zucchini & Avocado!

Mix these Dry Ingredients First

1 cup Almond Flour (Blanched is best, but Super Fine is cool too) (I use Bob's Red Mill)
½ cup Cacao Powder (I use Navitas)
1 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Cinnamon
½ tsp Kosher Salt

Next Mix these Wet Ingredients

½ Cup Avocado (I usually use one whole large Avocado. Who wants to dirty up another cup?)
¾ cup Granulated Monkfruit Sweetener
2 NEAT EGGS Vegan Egg Replacement (You can use real eggs and your cake will be fluffier. But I have a sensitivity so I often use NEAT EGG.)
1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract (No Sugar Added)

Add in the Dry Ingredient Mixture and then add

1¼ Cup Grated Zucchini (After manually grating a few Zucchini's, I bought and now use a food processor for this step. #worthit https://rstyle.me/+qr7nuxRa1mjLDEEpVAaIoQ)
1 cup Sugar Free Chocolate Chips (I use Lilly's (it has Stevia) )
