Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake Donuts are what dreams are made of. Moreover, they are the perfect indulgence to appease any sweet tooth. Chocolate Cake Donuts with a Chocolate Glaze will fulfill any chocolate desires. 
Believe it or not, one of the things I miss the most going gluten-free and refined sugar-free is bread. Under these circumstances, I am always trying to recreate the items I miss the most. Needless to say, donuts are one of the things I miss the most. In fact, I adore chocolate. Because of a craving for chocolate and also for donuts I, therefore, I decided to create a recipe with my two loves.
Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake Donuts:
Admittedly I am always trying to heighten the chocolate flavor. It is for this reason that I add instant coffee to most chocolate recipes thereby creating a more intense flavor of chocolate. My daughter, however, is a vegan and definitely wanted her to be able to enjoy a donut as well. At any rate, these were the things on running through my mind when I consequently wrote this recipe.
In any case, I am not fond of the texture of gluten-free dessert items with only almond flour. I think the texture leaves something to be desired. Incidentally, a combination of cassava flour and almond flour gives the same texture of baked goods like those that utilize flour. Feel free to read my blog post Cassava Flour Information and Monk Fruit Sweetener.
Consequently, Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake Donuts are also dairy-free, egg-free, and refined sugar-free while also being delectable. All in all Cassava flour, monk fruit sweetener, powdered cocoa, and 6-hole donut pan can be found at Amazon. In conclusion, these donuts are so yummy you may want to make more than since.
Personal Notes:
Summer is on its way and flowers are beginning to bloom. In summary, Everywhere I look there are signs of summer. At any rate, I am waking up earlier and earlier due to the fact that we sleep with our windows open and the sun shines in. Nonetheless, the birds are singing me awake. It is indeed, my hope that summer will, in fact, bring about more jobs and more kindness of our fellow man.
Nevertheless, I encourage all my readers to commit RAK’s. What is a RAK? It is a Random Act of Kindness. In summary, Random Acts of Kindness need not be anything expensive. Incidentally, many food banks need volunteers.
