My birthday cake! Sugar-free and flour-free! #learntocook #glutenfree

CHOCOLATE ALMOND CAKE 🍫🍫 It's my birthday today! Want to know how old I am????? I made this cake for a pre-celebration so I could share it. It's sugar-free and flour-free, and it's incredible. I've been gluten-free for 15 years due to a gluten allergy I developed, and during this time I've dedicated myself to a lot of research and recipe development. Enjoy!
