Recipe Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Chickpea flour:<\/strong> The star of this cake - giving it a moist, gooey texture while keeping it gluten-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almond flour:<\/strong> Adds richness, nuttiness, and a soft crumb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cocoa powder:<\/strong> For a deep, chocolately flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dark chocolate and Butter:<\/strong> I used 55% dark chocolate and salted butter. Together, these two are melted to make the cake fudgy and decadent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sugar:<\/strong> I used raw sugar; feel free to use regular white sugar or even brown sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soy milk:<\/strong> For making the batter smooth and creamy. Use unsweetened soy milk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rose water:<\/strong> This is optional, but it does add a lovely floral note that goes so well with chocolate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
