Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake With Coconut Flour

When it comes to Keto baking, or gluten-free baking, it’s pretty common to use almond flour as a base. I have several readers who have asked for a cake that uses coconut flour instead of almond flour - and this lovely cake is the result! This isn’t truly a nut-free recipe, because coconuts are still considered a nut. Most people who are allergic to nuts, don’t have an issue with coconut products, but some do. So if you can’t have almonds, but coconuts don’t bother you, this is a great chocolate cake recipe with coconut flour you can make and enjoy! Note that you CAN NOT substitute almond flour for coconut flour! If you want an almond flour recipe, use the one for this low carb chocolate cake instead.
