Gluten Free Chocolate Cake

This gluten free, paleo chocolate cake is a great dessert or afternoon snack idea to satisfy those sweet cravings. I personally don’t like chocolate cake as it usually makes me feel sick after (or too rich) but this recipe is perfect WITHOUT all the added sugar and cream!
