Flourness Chocolate Orange Cake
Our delicious and really very easy to make low carb chocolate orange cake. This also is a fantastic cupcake recipe, just use small cupcake moulds.
This low carb moist chocolatey goodness is made with only a handful of ingredients.
Almond flour, a finer grain than almond meal, gives a smoother texture but either can be used. Adapt your recipe to keto cake ratios by only using 1 orange, adding 1 extra teaspoon of olive oil and avoiding the honey, we also serve with thick cream too. Bliss!
