Vegan Gluten Free Chocolate Mud cake
Who wants a slice of my vegan gluten free chocolate mud cake? One that is suitable for everyone as it is not only delicious but also vegan, gluten-free, nut-free and allergy-friendly! I think it is always nice making a chocolate cake that everyone can eat! No one should miss out when there is cake! So I hope I have achieved this with this delicious vegan Gluten free chocolate mud cake.
This gluten free chocolate mudcake was the perfect treat on the weekend to share with the twins’ grand-parents. My husband’s mother is Coeliac and I am vegan so this chocolate mudcake was made so both of us could eat it! We topped it with macadamia nuts but the cake itself is nut-free!
Finding both gluten free and vegan recipes can get tricky specially in baking trying to transform a non gluten free or non vegan recipe can result in disasters! I hope you will have more success with my vegan gluten-free chocolate mud cake recipe (also a cupcake version) and avoid having to make too many changes!

For the GF flour, can we use almond flour or oat flour? Or does it have to be the Bob’s Red Mills GF 1:1 Flour?
You can use oat flour. Almond flour won’t work as well.
