A healthy chocolate cake recipe with no refined sugar or flour but that still has that intense brownie like taste and texture! Sounds good right? This recipe is one of my favorite cake recipes and the fact that it only consists of natural ingredients just makes it even better.
Healthy Chocolate Cake Recipe with the topping of your choice
If we leave out the topping for a moment, you really just need four basic ingredients to get started on this healthy chocolate cake recipe. Medjool dates, cashews, cocoa and Goji berries. It’s as simple as that. And then you can choose whichever kind of topping you may like. For this one I’ve used unsalted pistachios and red currants but just imagine some dark, dark melted chocolate on top of these intense little bites. Maybe even a sprinkle of toasted coconut would give it that extra yumminess!
