Veganer Glutenfreier Schoko Kuchen Rezept 1

Chocolate Mud Cake (Vegan, Gluten-free)

I’ve been thinking about making a really dense and moist chocolate cake for a while now. It was clear that I would use coconut flour as this is quite rich. And while browsing through my garden it just clicked when I saw the ready-to-be-harvested new season beetroots. They would add color, flavour and moisture as well! Together with bananas it just had to work!

The flavour was amazing – a delicious bouquet of chocolate, banana, coconut, beetroot and lemon. YUM!

Well, what I did not consider was that this cake would be so rich! It has the potential to feed a group of ten people – for the main meal! So if you are looking for a cake for a few people, better use only half the amount.

And don’t tell me I didn’t warn you 😉 The chocolate icing is a relatively thin layer. So if you’re into this kind of stuff you might want to double the ingredients 😉
