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.
