♥ What do I love about this chocolate cake?

This is a moist and rich gluten-free chocolate cake including the stunning frosting made under only 30 minutes. It’s perfect for when chocolate chip cookies aren’t just enough! Whenever I make a dessert, I try to keep it as healthy as possible. In this recipe, I used five eggs, adding a good amount of protein, I cut back on the sweetener, and there is no added powdered sugar in the frosting. Oh, I almost forgot, kids especially love this chocolate cake, I think it’s mainly because of the Nutella frosting 🙂 I am pretty sure your family will not be disappointed with this chocolate dessert.
