Gluten and Dairy free chocolate cake recipe – low FODMAP

Well today my eldest daughter sat the 1st of her 3 transfer exams to senior school. She came out happy in the knowledge that we had a fun day ahead planned!  So all was good.

It started with concocting  some yummy home-made; tuna, chilli, spring onion greens, pepper, caper, cheese on corn tortilla pizza’s for lunch followed by a  trip in the winter sunshine to the park for some monkeying around.

We returned with a hunger for chocolate cake so we experimented with this simple recipe and I thought it was so good I should share it with you, especially as it is made with a healthy fat choice; olive oil, and it is also low FODMAP and gluten free, dairy free too….

• 80g cocoa
• 130ml boiling water
• 150g ground almonds
• 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
• pinch of salt
• 200g brown/caster sugar
• 150ml olive oil
• Eggs x 3 whisked

Blend thoroughly together the sugar, olive oil and 3 whisked eggs to create a creamy ‘mayo’

Mix the boiling water with the cocoa to a paste

Weigh the almonds, bicarb of soda, and salt in a bowl, add the cocoa paste and the dry ingredients to the ‘mayo’ mix and blend.

Pour into a cake tin.

Depending on the size of the tin cook for 30 – 45 minutes till the cake is soft and squidgy on the top. dust with icing sugar. Voila. We got a photo of the last slice!!

Enjoy!
