Cassava Flour Chocolate Cake10/18/2021 I was thrilled to hear that Erin from Eat Real, Stay Sane was going to bake up a Cassava Chocolate Cake for us this month! It’s a great option for grain-free, gluten-free birthdays and celebrations! One caveat to this recipe: you all know I am very strict with sugar. There is quite a bit of sugar in this recipe. Natural or not, sugar is sugar. It’s ok to use less than the recipe calls for. I know I prefer a less sweet cake. Remember, this is a special occasion treat! Cassava Chocolate Cake – by Erin Smith Before I’d gotten on the real food bandwagon, someone at work brought a store-bought, gluten-free cake. Most coworkers kept their distance, making snide remarks like “If I’m gonna eat the calories….” I was among the brave who tried it, and I wish I hadn’t. Terrible, disgusting, flavorless. Contrary to popular belief, chocolate DOES NOT cover all else. In other words, I know what a bad chocolate cake tastes like, and this ain’t it. In order to achieve “gluten-free” status, I used cassava flour (it’s all the rage amongst the real foodies). It’s a starchy root, kind of like a potato. Just don’t imagine that it tastes like you’re adding potato flakes, because that would be gross. Cassava flour has a slight earthy taste to it, but in a good way. It is extremely nutritious, containing good sources of potassium, vitamin C, fiber, and even some protein, iron, and magnesium. The beautiful part is that you can trade it out in a 1:1 ratio with flour, and still keep a similar consistency. I’d say it’s slightly denser than normal cake, but it just makes it a little fudgier… so no complaints here. A couple weeks ago, it was our Little Man’s 2nd birthday, which is crazy and insane. He’s not much of a dessert eater – he signs “grapes” or “strawberries” pretty much at every meal. He needed a little encouragement to dig into his chocolate cassava flour cake, but once he did, that stuff got ate. My parents also devoured the cake and passed along rave reviews. |
