Jamie Oliver Gluten Free Chocolate Cake is a flourless-style cake made with cocoa, melted chocolate, eggs, and ground almonds. It delivers an ultra-moist, brownie-like texture while being naturally gluten-free.

Ingredients

Scale

    • 200g dark chocolate (70%)

    • 150g butter

    • 150g sugar (caster or light brown)

    • 100g ground almonds

    • 50g cocoa powder

    • 4 large eggs

    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    • Pinch of salt

    • Optional: icing sugar, berries, or whipped cream for serving

Instructions

1. Melt the Chocolate and Butter

Place the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Stir until smooth and glossy. This forms the base of the cake’s rich texture.

2. Whisk the Eggs and Sugar Until Light

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until pale and slightly thickened. This adds structure and ensures the cake rises gently.

3. Combine the Wet and Dry Ingredients

Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and fold gently. Add the cocoa powder, ground almonds, vanilla, and salt. Mix until just combined.

4. Bake Until Just Set

Pour the batter into a lined cake tin and bake at 170°C (340°F) for about 30–35 minutes. The cake should be set around the edges but slightly soft in the centre for that perfect fudgy finish.

5. Cool and Serve

Let the cake cool in the tin before slicing. Dust with icing sugar or serve with berries, whipped cream, or ice cream.
