Double chocolate Paleo Gooey Cake
It’s like a brownie, a cake, and a pan of hot chocolate-y almond butter all in one. Just go for it.

Ingredients
Scale
For the brownie layer
- 1 cup almond meal
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of sea salt
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips, melted in the microwave or a double boiler
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
For the cookie dough layer
- 1 cup almond meal
- Pinch sea salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 3 oz plain applesauce
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
Instructions
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350 and grease a small baking dish (I used 8×8) with coconut oil.
- 2. In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients for the brownie layer. I like to mix the melted chocolate chips with the coconut oil and honey before adding to the dry ingredients.
- 3. Spread the brownie layer on the bottom of the dish, and place the dish in the freezer while you prepare the cookie dough layer.
- 4. Combine all of the ingredients for the cookie dough layer in a large bowl. Gently spread on top of the brownie layer.
- 5. Bake at 350 for 28-30 minutes until fluffy and golden.
- 6. Allow to cool before serving. If you like a softer texture, enjoy straight out of the oven with ice cream. If you’d like these to set a bit more, allow to cool completely and place in the fridge for an hour or so.
