Hi guys! This cake is by far the best paleo cake I've ever made (or eaten). But as luck would have it…on the day I filmed this video it was 90 degrees in SoCal and my air conditioner broke that morning! So the cake on the video isn't quite as pretty as the one on my blog because it was starting to melt in my hot kitchen. Lol. Make sure to click over to the blog for the full recipe and prettier photos. ;) Enjoy! - Lisa xo
Downshiftology what is Expresso powder
Downshiftology love it
Downshiftology the best cake I have ever made

Downshiftology frosting not paleo
I've just made this cake. I have eaten many really good chocolate cakes in my life but since I became gluten intollerant, I've been having problems finding a good moist chocolate cake. This one is moist and rich but I halved the amount of sugar in the frosting. I always do this with American recipes. I have a feeling that in Europe we do not appreciate our sweets to be as sweet as in America. It is also the most expensive cake I have ever made because things like coconut sugar and almond flour are quite pricey in my country. Still, this is the best dairy-free gluten-free cake I have ever eaten and I love it. Thanks for the recipe!
So happy you enjoyed it!
Thank you! and have you halved the amount of sugar in the batter of a cake? I don't like deserts, that are too sweet, too.
Polona Ramšak these ingredients are 5x the price of regular flour here too
Most of my adult life I’ve been in love with chocolate cake. I could honestly eat it for every meal the rest of my life. After being diagnosed with a few different autoimmune disorders I needed to go gluten free. This recipe is by far the best gluten free chocolate cake recipe on the planet. I’ve told my family when I die I’d like to be buried with a slice of this lol, that way if I don’t get into heaven, at least I’ll have a little slice of it with me for the rest of eternity wherever I do end up😂😂😂
Has anyone ever told you that you are a genius and your recipes and ideas about food are fantastic?! I wish you were around 20 years ago! Thanks for all your hard work that makes my life easier! Seriously LOVE your recipes!!!
Your comment just made my day! I'm thrilled you love my recipes and feedback like this makes what I do all worthwhile. Thanks so much for your kind words Amy! :) x
I made this cake for a friend who is allergic to all grains and dairy, I was pretty skeptical about it and didn’t think it would be that good but holy crap it’s amazing! You can’t tell at all its grain free! My friend loved it so much and she made it again two days later because she was so excited to finally eat a yummy cake! Thank you for this recipe! My mind was blown! 🤯
You're more than welcome! I'm glad you both loved it!
It doesn't need oil????
I quartered the recipe and got 4 cupcakes out of this recipe, and let me just say it's the BEST MOST AMAZING recipe for chocolate cake ever!!! It's so light and fluffy and moist, I love this recipe so much! Thank you
That's so good to know - thanks Tianna! I've had so many requests to turn this recipe into a cupcake recipe. Thrilled you love the recipe! :) x
Really? Taste good would try this
How did you adjust the time?
thanks for your feedback i was really thinking about cupcakes!
Just made this cake for my sister (who can't have gluten or dairy) and WOW!!! The guests were absolutely blown away by it- it was super moist but perfectly spongy, and the 'buttercream' frosting was delicious! I was a bit worried about the number of coconut ingredients used but you can literally barely taste them, and while I debated between replacing the flours with a gluten-free flour blend, I'm glad I didn't because it might not have turned out so unbelievably decadent. I wish I could include a picture and give all of you a slice of it because it was really that good. 10/10 stars-!
Thanks so much Betta! If you join the private Downshiftology Community FB group you can post a picture there. :)
I made this on Thursday last week, I was worried about the amount of coconut sugar used, found I only have two square tin! Duh huh! Adjusted the cooking time and had two beautiful sponge. Instead of making the frosting, I used your home made Nutella which I made two weeks ago. Also used raspberry jam. It has kept well in a air tight container all week, absolutely delicious. Definitely will be making that again. And I'm looking forward to having this when friends come to stay in a few weeks time. I will use your chai raspberry jam.
I made this cake for my family and it was truly the best cake I've ever had! No one could tell it was paleo/gluten free!
Awesome! Love to hear that. Thank Gabby!
Recipe please !!?
Every mom is special but you dear are out of this world.... bless you
Made this cake for my birthday this year and OMG everyone went nuts for it.. we didnt even have any leftovers and it was my first try.. AMAZING RECIPE..😍
I made this today for my husband's birthday and it was amazing!
Yay! Love to hear that Sharon! Glad you and your husband enjoyed it. :) x
I made this wonderful chocolate cake 2 days ahead. I made 1 batch into a 12" springform pan (for a birthday cake) and to put in 3 small ramekins (so the 3 of us could have a taste the first day). It was good both times! I would never guess that the cake is gluten free. The texture is excellent and the flavor is good. I also made the frosting but only made 1/2 batch of it because my cake had just one layer and I read a lot of comments that it was quite rich. That amount of frosting worked well and was not too skimpy. I find Lisa's recipes very reliable and love the videos! I also like the ingredient product links and printable recipe. Sometimes the print is too small on the printable recipe though so I have to work on formatting them to print bigger :)
My sister told me to check out your channel since I am paleo/gluten & dairy free and I am so happy I did!! Just made this truly amazing chocolate cake for my birthday and it is honestly the best most delicious cake I have ever made and ate in my life!! I subscribed and will be making all of your recipes this coming year! So excited to try more of your recipes!

Love your video, looks really good. I'll try this recipe and thank you.
Thanks so much Kimberly 😊Enjoy the recipe!
Eggs can be substituted with flaxseeds, bananas, avocados, aquafaba or applesauce.
I'll have a video on that soon as well! :)
or gelatin
Really??
How many eggs we can use
I’ve made so many gf cakes with substitutes and it never works. Does the flax eggs work for this cake? 😊
This sounds great!
This cake is SO good! I tested it to see if it would work for my 3 year old's birthday in a couple weeks, and it got a 10 out of 10 from all my cake tasters (including the birthday girl)!
Yay! I'm happy you all loved the recipe Brittaney! :) x
Just saw it. Loved it. Been looking for gluten free dessert options. I am a baker. Will make this weekend. Thank you.
Wonderful! Let me know how it turns out. :)
OMG! I am on the Keto diet and I just changed the coconut flour for xylitol and it was amazing! Thank you!
Awesome to hear that sub worked well for you! Enjoy!

It tastes incredible too! ;) x
Just found this recipe in a search. Looking forward to making it for a birthday!!

Wonderful! So happy you enjoyed it!

Happy happy almost birthday! I want to eat ALL of this cake!
Thanks! Between the three cakes I baked last week alone (testing, the blog and the video) - I think I may have eaten ALL the cake. Lol! ;) x
love this cake recipe thank you! what could I use instead of palm shortening? I tried making a similar cake the other day and used coconut cream for the frosting, turned out pretty good!
You could use butter instead of the palm shortening. :)
My daughter made this cake for me yesterday and it was delicious!!
I made your cake in two layers (9-inches pans), without coffee. It is delicious!!! Congratulations for your recipe!

Yay! Welcome to the Downshiftology community Laurel 😊
I love the recipes. Could you do a video on how to make amazing cream cheese frosting, whipped cream frosting, chocolate mousse frosting and a ganache frosting ?
I will keep that in mind 😊
I watch this beautiful lady and her cake just every month😄✨ just for soothing
I made it and it is so good!!!
So glad you enjoyed this recipe!
You've got a new follower. This channel is amazing!!!!! btw, my birthday is also in august!!!!!!
So I made this cake but subbed organic brown rice flour. That's all I could find at my local store.
I made a cherry flavored cake, instead of a chocolate one and let me say.... this is, hands down, the best grain free recipe out there.
The crumb was tender and moist. It was as if I was eating a flour based cake. I was shocked.
You win. People should really give this recipe a try.
Thank you so much.
So happy you loved this cake! Yay! It's definitely one of the most popular recipes on my website with rave reviews. :) x
So you replaced all three flours with brown rice flour?
@@caitlinhanson8631 So sorry! I don't get notifications! I only replaced the tapioca flour with brown rice flour. Please try this cake. It's probably one of the best cakes out there. So delicious!
I will try this recipe.
Hope you enjoy :)
I made this for my birthday it was really good!
Glad you enjoyed this cake for your birthday!
Thanks so much for posting. Is my son 5th bday in sept and ill be doing this cake. Looks amazing. 😍😍
Wonderful! Hope he enjoys it. :)
I Love this cake

Best chocolate cake I have had the pleasure to do! Did I mention easy? No need to say is paleo or dairy free because nobody would notice! Thanks for this recipe!!!
Glad you enjoyed this chocolate cake!
Looks delish!
Super delish. ;)
This recipe is delicious!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Made it ! The best chocolate cake ever in the real sense ! Myself and husband has never tasted anything better ! Thanks a lot for sharing this amazing recipe ! Can you please confirm if this is suitable for people with type 2 diabetes and if yes how many of these kinda paleo cupcakes at max in a month can a diabetic have ?
HI Lisa I had my husband watching this video with me 'cause he adores chocolate cake. By the end of the video, he was salivating and asked me to pleasssssssssssssssse make this asap. I guess this is what I am doing this weekend. Looks amazing, I almost licked my computer screen!
Haha! This cake recipe is one of the top recipes on my website as well - over 200 comments! So it's definitely worth making. ;) Hope you both enjoy it!
Looks delicious!! What a coincidence she says it’s the 1st of August and her birthday is the 31st and I’m here today the 1st of August because my husbands birthday is the 31st! If this tastes as good as it looks I think he’ll love it !
That looks delicious
It really is!
What brand cake pans do you recommend? I noticed your layers came out perfect!
Hi Sherry - the products I use are always linked in the description box (just for future reference), but here you go: amzn.to/2vjAE87 These pans are great, but most of my cakes don't rise as much as traditional cakes (because they're gluten-free and grain-free). A benefit of that is that they usually come out perfectly flat so there's no need to trim! ;) x
Congrats on 1 mill 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 amazing! Can you pls tell me how long you store this cake in the fridge. + if you store it in the freezer etc?
You can store it in the fridge for a few days, or you can freeze it! If you plan to freeze, I suggest to store in slices so it makes it easier 😊
I made this for my son’s second birthday - no one knew it was gluten/dairy free. It taste AMAZING!!
Glad this cake was a hit for your son's birthday Meredith!
HI Lisa
what would you recommend as a substitute for any of the flourers made from nuts?
Wow! You have a very neat and beautiful kitchen, also your food recipes are healthy I always like it... much love from Sri Lanka...😍😊
Thanks so much!
It looks paleolicious!
And it tastes paleolicious too. ;)
Could you make a Paleo vanilla cake.? This cake is soo delicious!!! Thanks for this recipe.
Happy birthday! Enjoy the AMAZING cake
Thank you! 😊
Looking yummmmmmmmy
Thanks! :)
Where are your storage jars from? The cake looks SOOO yummy!!!
I will definitely make this! :)
Awesome - hope you love it!
Looks so decadent 🤤 please make a cupcake recipe out of this? Good love to try it 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
It's on my to do list!
Lisa this is a wonderful cake, can you please send the link for the cake stand? thank you! abosolutely deli!
Thank you so much 😋🌹✊🏿✨🥇
Ha ha the only thing I'd be decorating that cake with is teeth marks. It looks so good just the way it is. Wow I wish I could have some right now. ☺😍
Lol. Teeth marks definitely work! ;)
Hahaha!!! Same! Looks deelish!
😂😂😂
😂 I agree !!!🙌🏽
You are the best kept secret! Wow! Love your videos!
Thanks so much Lisa - I really appreciate your kind words! ❤️
Hey, this looks like an amazing recipe, are there any alternatives to the Apple Cider Vinegar? would love to make this for my wife who is on a similar-to-Paleo diet; but also avoids vinegar/alcohol.
Looks so chocolatey! Yum! Perfect with a cold glass of milk :)
It's the perfect pairing. :)
Happy birthday to you!
My favorite chocolate cake! Pair it with a homemade German chocolate icing and it's amazing! No one can believe it's dairy free and grain free!
Amazinggggg cake ! Tried it without frosting. Will make frost tomorrow. Tha ks for sharing this recipe. A little question. Is coconut sugar a healthier alternative for people with type 2 diabetes?
Yummy
Happy birthday!
Apron not available on the link you pointed out....sad...nice apron, awesome chocolate cake, thank you Lisa
Wow!
I love this cake and I have made it many times. This last time I tried to make it using a stand mixer. I am not certain if I over mixed but the cake did not rise much. Could this be a factor or could too small of eggs be the reason. Thanks Lisa.
Always use large eggs. Check the expiration date of your leavening agents and finally, your making dish could be too big. Check the size.
