This healthier spin on Chocolate Mud Cake from Jaimielle Jacobs is gluten free, refined sugar free and dairy free. Jaimielle loves creating tasty recipes without the traditional sugar and flour overload. Here, almond flour is used in place of plain or self raising flour, with 3 tbs of honey being used in place of the original sugar option. Jaimielle believes nourishing ourselves with a balanced approach to food, without anxiety or guilt is goal number one, so she optimises nutrient density where ever she can, without forgoing the taste factor. Enjoy!

3 Eggs, whisked
1 1/2 cups Almond Flour

1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees, and line cake tin with baking paper.
2. Whisk eggs in a bowl, adding all remaining ingredients. Mix well with a wooden spoon until combined.
3. Pour half the mixture into the lined cake tin, then sprinkle extra choc chips evenly onto mixture, continue to pour remaining cake mixture in, using a spatula if need be.
4. Cook for 30minutes or until slightly browned on top. You can insert a sharp knife into the middle of the cake to test if cooked through. If knife comes out wet then cook for a further 5minutes and check again.
