Flourless Peanut Butter Cake with chocolate glaze {vegan + keto-friendly}

Is it just me or does cake get a bad rep? And is it just me or are y’all eating the wrong cake??? Because I love cake. A lot. And since I made this Flourless Peanut Butter Cake with chocolate glaze, I love it even more.

Flourless Peanut Butter Cake with chocolate glaze {vegan + keto-friendly}

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups almond flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/3 cup coconut sugar
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 2 flax “eggs” (2 tbsp ground flax + 5 tbsp water)
• 1/4 cup nondairy milk
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips (I used Lily’s sugar-free)
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 8 inch cake pan with parchment paper and grease.
2. Make flax “eggs” by combining ground flax + water in a small bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes.
3. In a large bowl combine almond flour & baking powder. Set aside.
4. In a separate bowl whisk together coconut sugar, peanut butter, milk, flax “eggs” & vanilla extract.
5. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and combine well.
6. Transfer batter to baking dish and bake for 20-24 minutes.
7. Let cake cool for at least 30 minutes – it comes out a bit “gooey” so needs the time to set.
8. In the last 5 minutes of cooling, make the chocolate icing by combining chocolate chips + coconut oil in a small pot on low heat. Stir entire time until completely melted, then set aside to cool.
9. Spread the chocolate icing on top of the cake. Cut into 8 slices, best served immediately. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container.

Oooo, this cake. It looks like a giant peanut butter cup, and tastes like one too.

As I mentioned above, the texture is a bit on the crumbly side, but I wanted it to remain more dense/fudge-y than cake-y. And the chocolate acts like glue to hold it all together sooo there could be worse problems.
