I love chocolaty desserts! I was craving for chocolate and wanted to try making a healthier version of the classic mud cake. That’s how I came up with this Gluten-free & Dairy-free Mud Cake recipe.
Chocolate and peanut butter is one of my favourite combos. Peanut butter gives this cake such a yummy flavour and great texture. This cake is chewy on the edges and ooey gooey in the center.
This Gluten-free & Dairy-free Mud Cake is easy to make! You’ll have a ready cake in less than 30 minutes. I recommend eating this cake warm. You could serve it with some vanilla ice cream and berries! Such a great combo!
This is such a delicious and chocolaty treat to bake for yourself or for your friends and family. I warn you though if you bake this just for yourself, be careful not to eat the whole cake at one sittingXD

What can I replace the peanut butter with?
You can use any nut butter you like or sunflower seed butter if you are allergic to nuts!:)
