Death by Chocolate (vegan & GF)

Having impulse-bought a huge amount of ground almond, I found myself close to its use-by date with a hell of a lotta almond still to use. As someone who tries their very best not to waste food, I needed to find something to make that would use copious amounts of ground almond. Ideally something palatable enough to share with my housemates! Enter, flourless vegan chocolate cake! It turned out far better than I’d expected. I thought that surely you can’t replace every ingredient in a chocolate cake with another ingredient and still end up with something that tastes half decent. Turns out you can! I was being ironic calling it ‘death by chocolate’ as it’s actually a rather healthy cake using maple syrup instead of sugar. High in calories and in fat, yes, but still reasonably healthy.
