Decadent Chocolate Cake (Dairy, Gluten and Grain Free)

I will definitely not claim that this cake is healthy.  It is a treat, but is one I often make to take somewhere.  It is simple and very rich in flavour.  It will satisfy any chocolate craving.
Merry Christmas!


Ingredients (makes 8 inch cake)
  • 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate or 2/3 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil
  • 3/4 cup palm sugar
  • 1/3 cup dark cocoa powder plus some for dusting
  • 3 whisked eggs
  • 1 teaspoon gluten free vanilla

  3. Add sugar and cocoa, stir until blended.
