Dairy, gluten and nut free chocolate cake

I haven't posted for a long time. Exams and flat mates that turn out to be crazy seem to get in the way.

For months I feel like a part of me has been missing, not being able to use and enjoy a kitchen to bake and cook in has been traumatic! But now I'm free, and the kitchen is my oyster? Basically I am going to bake, cook, and experiment with food a crap tonne from now on! So watch out...

What a better way to make a come back than sharing a recipe from one of my favourite cooks, Chelsea Winter. I do realise you can find this recipe on her website but I still believe this cake deserves to be glorified over and over again. So, I'll sit here with my piping hot cup of peppermint tea, eat my chocolate cake with strawberries and cream and write about it, the eighth wonder of the world, Chelsea's gluten, dairy and nut free chocolate cake. Too far?

Some might think it's strange but when I saw that this cake had avocado in it, well I was sold. It has no butter, no gluten, and the ingredients that make it decently moist are coconut milk, only healthy oils and of course the avocado. It is a healthy chocolate cake, but don't let this put you off! The whole block of dark Whitaker's chocolate and the cocoa makes for an explosion of chocolate. This recipe is pure genius.

Mine looks a little different but that doesn't matter when it tastes this good. Look at this moist deliciousness... (It was half eaten before I even got a chance to take a picture!

My current favourite recipe is without a doubt this cake. I have nothing to change about this recipe so just click on the link to get the recipe and bake your little hearts away. Serve it with cream or yogurt and strawberries. Divine. 

Just a tip- this cake is HUGE so I wouldn't recommend making it if it's just you, you WILL eat it all. I know I said it's healthier but it's no kale salad!

Bake it. Eat it. Love it.

And here is a piece covered in runny cream that I am about to devour 

Oh and meet Claude, my new kitchen assistant. Thank you for holding my iPad while I bake, you're a star!
