Wholegrain Dairy-Free Glazed Cocoa Cake Recipe

This Wholegrain Dairy-Free Glazed Cocoa Cake is heavenly! Its luxurious chocolatey taste is a tribute to the cocoa bean and its culinary gift – the cocoa powder. Its sweetness is derived from pure maple syrup enhanced with unsweetened apple sauce and pure vanilla extract. It is fortified with creamy almond butter and nutritious oats. All this goodness is packed into a deliciously rich cake and topped with homemade Maple Cocoa Glaze.

As in all Kosher Create recipes – ALL grains used, in this case oats and spelt, are 100% WHOLEGRAIN. Visit our WHOLEGRAIN DESSERTS collection for more free recipes!
