Thanks Kristina! We try to use dates and other natural sweeteners as much as possible. Much better for you and they taste great!

This recipe looks amazing – something I’ll try making for my kiddo as she loves chocolate cake and I love the idea of making it healthy. What a great idea to use dates as the main sweetener – brilliant!

In reply to Pam.

Hi Pam, I’m sorry for the confusion regarding substitution (I’m actually working on re-writing this recipe without protein powder to help people make it with great results- so stay tuned!) … basically, you want to add just a bit of xanthan gum (a little less than a teaspoon), 1/4 cup cornstarch, and 1/4 cup oat flour to create the thickening reaction that the protein powder would have provided. OR: If you have a gluten free flour blend on-hand that already has xanthan or guar gum in it, then you could also add about 1/3 cup of the gluten free flour blend + one Tablespoon of cornstarch or tapioca starch. I hope this was helpful. Sorry for the delay in responding- and check back if you’d like to try my updated paleo version that should be published by the beginning of February! 🙂

Hello,

Can you help please, the substitution of the Protein powder is not clear. Do I replace it with 1tsp xanthan gum and 1/4 c corn starch?
Thanks

In reply to Rachel.

I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Rachel! 🙂 This is one of my favorite recipes too! I find that the sweetness can vary depending on the ripeness, size, and variety of dates used, but it gets easier to know how many you need to use after making it a couple of times! 🙂 Happy baking! XOXO

This cake was absolutely phenomenal! So delicious, light and moist. I couldn’t believe how the texture of the cake seemed just like a regular cake! That is something that’s definitely lacking in other gluten free cake recipes I’ve tried in the past. I didn’t try the frosting and just ate it plain (I was just in a hurry for some cake!) but I definitely will next time I make it! I would add a couple more dates to the cake to make it a little sweeter if I wasn’t having frosting, but with some canned coconut milk drizzled on the top it was great! Thank you for this recipe that will be my new go-to healthy cake recipe!
