Gluten Free Chocolate Cake Recipe

Sharing is caring!

My son’s birthday was coming up, and I asked him what kind of cake he wanted. He immediately said he wanted chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting and strawberries on top. Alrighty then! I set out to come up with a recipe that wasn’t just healthy, but that was also delicious.

After experimenting with gluten free and grain free flours over the years, I decided to try this mix that I came up with. It turned out pretty well! I think you’ll love it, too. Give it a try, and you can even print this recipe for future use.
