My personal favorite that I use here in my go-to Almond Flour Chocolate Cake recipe is the Bob’s Red Mill Super-Fine Almond Flour. I use it in cakes, cookies, minute mug cakes, and more! Even if you are not gluten free, the Bob’s Red Mill Almond Flour is a delicious option for your holiday baked goods.
I use this Almond Flour Chocolate Cake recipe often. It is yummy and flavorful as is, but it also makes a great base for other cakes. To dress it up and add a festive touch, I simply topped with marshmallows, chocolate syrup and peppermint crunch to transform a simple chocolate cake into a Hot Cocoa Chocolate Cake fit for holiday parties, festive gatherings and every celebratory event in between. Bonus points if you use mini candy canes to make a heart in the middle as pictured!
