Enjoy a rich and guilt-free Vegan Hazelnut Flourless Chocolate Cake, capturing whole ingredients and decadent flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons Ground flax seed
- 6 tablespoons Filtered water
- 6 ounces Vegan unsweetened chocolate
- 1 cup Hazelnut butter
- 1 cup Pureed pear or apple
- 1/2 cup Coconut sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup Hazelnut meal
- 1/2 cup Raw cacao powder
- 1/4 cup Hazelnuts
- 1/4 cup Chopped dark chocolate
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the ground flax seed and filtered water, whisking until well mixed. Place the mixture in the fridge for 15 minutes to create a gel-like consistency.
- While the flax eggs are setting, oil a 6-inch springform pan with coconut oil. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Set up a double boiler and add the chopped unsweetened chocolate and hazelnut butter to the top. Allow them to melt together, whisking often to create a smooth mixture.
- Once melted, whisk in the pear puree, coconut sugar, sea salt, and vanilla extract until the batter is completely smooth.
- Add the flax egg mixture to the warm chocolate blend and whisk for a couple of minutes, ensuring it’s fully mixed and velvety.
- Gradually whisk in the raw cacao powder and hazelnut meal until everything is well combined.
- Carefully pour your batter into the prepared springform pan, spreading it evenly.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the top is dried and mostly set.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for 15 minutes. Carefully release it from the pan.
- Top your cake with crushed hazelnuts and chopped dark chocolate. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
Notes
- Use almond butter as a substitute for hazelnut butter if desired.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
