This Paleo Flourless Chocolate cake is easy, made with only 7 ingredients in 30 minutes, and is so delicious! Gluten free, dairy free, and refined sugar free.
Flourless chocolate cake is a pretty common dessert that most people have either had or heard of. I’ve never actually made the traditional version, but looking up recipes, most called for a ton of sugar and butter. Making it over wasn’t too hard- switching out the butter for coconut oil and replacing the sugar with honey turns it into a much healthier cake. It is still a treat, but one with ingredients that are better. All the variations of flourless chocolate cake are naturally gluten free, but this one is also dairy free and refined sugar free.
This cake is made in one bowl, only takes a few minutes, and I’m certain you will love it! This cake is very fudgy and rich so a small piece is all you need. This is not a light, fluffy cake- it is dense, moist, and very chocolatey! I recommend serving it with strawberries or some other fresh fruit- it offsets the richness a little and adds such great freshness.
There is a little espresso powder added- instant coffee works as well. It really enhances that chocolate flavor and it doesn’t taste like coffee. It is optional, but I highly recommend that you try it.
You will love how easy, quick, and delicious this cake is! It’s so chocolatey, rich, and just irresistible! No one will be able to tell that it’s gluten free, dairy free, and refined sugar free.

I don’t see nutrition info. What is carb, fiber, protein, sodium and sugar count per serving? Looks great btw!
Jessica DeMay says
Hi Lisa- We don’t count calories so nutrition info isn’t calculated. There are many places online (like My Fitness Pal) where you can calculate it if you need to. I hope you try it- it’s delicious!

What could I sub for the sugar to make it low carb?
Jessica DeMay says
Hi Kari- Swerve will work and then some liquid to make up for the lost moisture of the honey.
