Quick and delicious vegan, flourless cake
This beautiful, rich chocolate cake is made flourless, dairy-free and gluten-free so is pleasing to everyone! The cake is quite dense so can also be prepared as brownies. To serve, add a cacao and avocado mousse frosting (shown in picture), or cashew and coconut cream sauce. It's quick and easy to make and is (almost) fail-proof so is the ideal go-to dessert using pantry staples such as almond meal and cacao.
