Chocolate Cake Donut Recipe

This chocolate cake donut recipe is grain free, gluten free, soy free, and dairy free. We used Bob’s Red Mill finely ground almond flour along with their Coconut Flour. These two combined make for an incredible texture that in my opinion beats out traditional gluten free flours by a long shot! If you are grain free or just love baking with almond flour be sure to try these delicious Paleo Dark Chocolate Cherry Cupcakes.

About Me

A passionate gluten-free and dairy-free food blogger with a fierce love for baking! I’ve been a food blogger for over 5 years now and I adore it. My gluten-free and dairy-free journey began about 9 years ago. After going through some really difficult health obstacles I found out I was sensitive to gluten and dairy. Initially it was very tough. I had no clue what I could eat, and I mourned my regular diet like it was the death of me.
