Gluten Free Blueberry Chocolate CakeΒ is a moist, delicious cake that is loaded with fresh blueberries, almonds and chocolate flavors. Β This cake is also gluten free, dairy free, paleo friendly and contains no granulated sugar.Β Gluten Free Blueberry Chocolate Cake | ahealhtylifeforme.com

I had a doggy babysitting job over the weekend for my friends sweet little shitzu Stella. Β When I picked her up she was immaculately clean with her hair up in a cute little ponetail on top of her hair.

When I got home I took her out in the yard to introduce her to my dogs. Β Xena my 1 year old airedale was somewhere in the back yard and I yelled for her and she came around the corner at a full gallop. Β Yes, she gallops. Β I am not sure where she was but to say she was muddy is an understatement, her muzzle and all four legs were covered in mud and she was running straight for the beautifully clean Stella. Β  It all played out in slow motion, sweet Stella looking oblivious and Xena flinging mud with every step coming in at full speed to say “hello”. Β Thankfully I grabbed Stella off the ground just as Xena would have completely covered her in mud. Β To say I was relieved was an understatement. Β Shitzu’s have an awful lot of hair and giving her a bath sounded like a nightmare.

After Stella went home, I got to working on a cake recipe for Mother’s Day.

This cake is awesome, I love the chocolate throughout the cake with the crunchy almonds and sweet blueberries on top.

My oldest son is coming in tow and I am looking forward to spending the whole weekend relaxing and enjoying the spring weather with my family.

Do you have special plans for Mother’s day?

    I always just spend Mother’s Day with my mom! But of course we will start the day with brunch and this blueberry chocolate cake would be a perfect addiction. I love that you added blueberries and chocolate!

    I’ve decided you are the queen of healthy baked goods! Part of the reason i didn’t go paleo is because I like bread too much, you might just turn me! πŸ™‚ This looks wonderful!

    My husky always acts like a fool when we have other dogs over. It’s always nice to hear I’m not alone in that!

    Can you tell me where to buy coconut cream, or is there a recipe you use to make it from scratch? My local stores only carry coconut milk, and I’m only finding recipes for whipped coconut cream online. Any suggestions?

    Reply

      Dawn you can buy coconut cream in the organic section of your canned goods or the asian section of canned goods. Coconut cream is very similar to coconut milk but contains less water. The difference is mainly consistency. It has a thicker, more paste-like consistency, while coconut milk is generally a liquid. I am sure your store carries it in one of these sections and I would recommend buying vs. making. If however you can not find it..Coconut cream can be made by simmering 1 part shredded coconut with 1 part water or milk until frothy, then straining the mixture through a cheesecloth, squeezing out as much liquid as possible; this is coconut milk. The coconut milk is refrigerated and allowed to set.
