My random, no-recipe, throw stuff in a bowl GFCF cake seems to have turned out really really good, so I need to attempt to preserve the recipe. From memory, and measured somewhat haphazardly, so quantities may not be exact or I may have left something out.

1 cup almond flour (ground almonds)
1/3 cup ground flax seed
3/4 cup cocoa powder
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 eggs
1/3 cup oil (I actually used 1/2 cup, and think it was a bit too much, but it contributed to the wonderful fudgyness. 1/3 cup might still be too much, or might be too little. I think 1/4 cup, as I originally put, would be too little. Might be able to successfully do half and half applesauce or something and oil)
2/3 cup bean puree
3/4 cup coconut milk

Combine wet ingredients. Combine dry ingredients. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, or until it looks done. Makes two 8-inch round pans.

thanks for sharing! can u elaborate on the bean puree?

I took canned beans (doesn't really matter what type, as long as they aren't seasoned or a super strong flavor) and threw them in the food processor for a bit.

I hope you're happy...I'm going to have to try this very soon and then I'll eat the whole thing in a day or so. :)

I hope it turns out well for you, too! I honestly preferred it to most wheat-based chocolate cakes I've had.

(Obviously, you'll want to make sure all the baking powder and vanilla and so on are properly GF.)

That sounds delicious. As the mom of a food-allergic child, I'm a big fan of coconut milk recipes.
