This healthy chocolate cake is a total favorite in my kitchen whenever I want something sweet without the extra fuss. It is incredibly simple to put together and perfect for those days when you have empty cupboards but a big chocolate craving.

You will be surprised at how soft the texture turns out despite the lack of traditional baking ingredients. My best tip is to make sure your eggs are at room temperature before you start so the batter comes together smoothly.

Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup creamy almond butter
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a small 6 inch cake pan.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until they are well combined.

  3. 3

    Add the almond butter, maple syrup, and cocoa powder to the eggs.

  4. 4

    Stir the mixture until the batter is smooth and no clumps remain.

  5. 5

    Pour the batter into your prepared pan.

  6. 6

    Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  7. 7

    Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing it to a wire rack.

💡 Tips

Serve this cake with a few fresh berries on top for a bright contrast. You can keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
