I got the recipe on paleo (stone age diet) chocolate cake from a rowing friend, which had baked it in connection with a picnic row. And this weekend I went away on another rowing trip, where one of the participants can not tolerate the use of milk products due to lactose intolerance, so I decided to bake this cake, so everyone in the boat could enjoy a piece of cake together.
Having my work in mind working with food, I can easily make the following relevant claims to accompany this cake:
- No Sugar Added (I do not mean sugar free)
- Lactose-free
- Gluten-free
If you do not tell people eating this cake about the unusual ingredients used in this cake, they will eat the cake and assume it it a normal rich chocolate cake with plenty of butter, sugar and flour, so give it a try and be surprised.
Paleo (stone age diet) chocolate cake:
- 4 eggs
- 160 g dark chocolate
- 250 g almond flour
- 160 g coconut milk/cream (I used cream with 18% fat inside)
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 15 dates -fresh with stone removed
- 1 vanilla pod - only the corns
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Heat the (conventional) oven to 180'C.
- Blend the almond flour and dates together.
- Melt the chocolate and coconut milk/cream together in a small cooking pot on low heat. Mix it well together, so it looks like chocolate sauce.
- Whip the eggs together.
- Stir almond flour/date mix, chocolate/coconut milk and egg-mass together in a mixing bowl, until the cake dough is homogeneous.
- Afterwards add it the cocoa powder, baking powder and vanilla corn into the cake dough.
- Line a baking tray (20x26 cm) with a piece of baking paper (so it more easily to get the cake out of the form after baking).
- Bake the cake in the middle of the oven at 180'C for 30-40 minutes.
- Check with a baking pin, that the cake mass is not liquid/moist, before you stop baking the cake.
- Cool down the cake before serving.
