This delicious chocolate cake is without oil and refined sugar!

I love to use whole grain rice flour, which makes it really fluffy and nutritious. You can also use regular flours like wheat or spelt flour (not whole grain though) and buckwheat flour should work as well.

For the chocolate I’ve used a filled one, made with coconut blossum sugar. I also added some chopped dates to the dough, but this is completely optional 🙂

Chocolate nut nougat cake

Oil free, gluten free and without refined sugar! Apart from the chocolate it's healthy hehe 🙂
