The best single serving grain-free chocolate cake

Quick and easy last minute Valentine’s Day dessert that’s healthy and serves one – Single serving chocolate grain-free cake with 2 ingredient dairy-free raspberry frosting.

We are excited to share this recipe for a single serving, grain-free chocolate cake that we have been working on for you.

We are on a mission to create more grain-free recipes for you.  Some containing plantains and some without as we have been asked by so many of you. Even though we love using nut and coconut flour in recipes, and you are used to seeing them in every grain-free recipe out there — we like to experiment with other flours.

There are so many new ones popping up on the food market like sweet potato flour, chestnut flour, yucca flour, plantain flour (or whole plantains like we do) and tigernut flour.

Single serving chocolate cake with 2 ingredient coconut raspberry frosting !

With Valentine’s Day just 2 days away. (Crazy!)

Lori and I were discussing recipes and I thought of this one. Since I am single and love cake I wanted something a little special just for me. 

These are what we are calling our emergency cake  for one. 

For those moments in life when you need a slice of cake but don’t want to make a whole one. Now you can quickly mix up this chocolate cake as it’s made from just 6 simple ingredients.  And as we were going over the recipe we first thought of a plantain (naturally) to use.

This cake recipe is low in sugar–we didn’t add any sugar. We relied on the sweetness of the ripe plantain to be the sugar. Plus, we topped it with a super creamy and rich raspberry coconut frosting. This frosting is so easy to whip up in a hurry. Feel free to top your individual cakes with any topping of your liking!

Both of these cake recipes are super simple and they don’t require many ingredients!!!

Only 6 simple ingredients needed. Most of them you probably have on hand. Perfect for those emergencies.

Valentine’s Day just got a little sweeter and filled with more chocolate! Happy dance!

Are you ready to make the easiest and healthy single serving chocolate cake — a few different ways? Yes? Good. We are too!!
