I’m looking forward to making this next weekend. We have a tree nut and sesame allergy in this house - any recommendations for subbing the almond butter that’s not tree nut butter or tahini?

   Hi Monique!
   I’m looking forward to making this next weekend. We have a tree nut and sesame allergy in this house – any recommendations for subbing the almond butter that’s not tree nut butter or tahini? Thoughts on using sunflower butter or something else?
   Thanks!

Used all ingredients as written in the recipe. The pairing of the fluffy and light chocolate cake with the strawberry frosting and chocolate ganache was divine. I’m not even a huge fan of strawberries usually but the flavor combination was amazing. Also loved how my house smelled like brownies the whole day. Thank you for another delicious recipe!!

   Made this cake for my parents’ anniversary yesterday (was waiting for the recipe to drop and it did just in time 🙂 and they absolutely loved it. Used all ingredients as written in the recipe. The pairing of the fluffy and light chocolate cake with the strawberry frosting and chocolate ganache was divine. I’m not even a huge fan of strawberries usually but the flavor combination was amazing. Also loved how my house smelled like brownies the whole day. Thank you for another delicious recipe!!

     Hi,
     How do I store the cake layers in the fridge before assembling them if I cook them a day or two before. Also, can it be left out on the counter for a party once it has been in the fridge? Does baking the cake layers a day or 2 ahead change the cake? I’ve made it before and moved it but trying to plan making it for a party.

Instead of round cake pans, I made cupcakes. Since the cook time is for pans, I went with the lower suggested time and checked regularly- I believe it was ~25 minutes total. They turned out really well!

   I was so excited to try this recipe and I was not disappointed! Instead of round cake pans, I made cupcakes. Since the cook time is for pans, I went with the lower suggested time and checked regularly- I believe it was ~25 minutes total. They turned out really well!

I’m not gluten free but like almond flour. It’s not overly rich but has a nice almost fudgy texture. I found it had to cook on the longer end of time - I used 6 in pans. Went for 25-27 minutes and they collapsed a little as they cooled in the middle, so I’d go longer next time. Couldn’t get freeze dried strawberries so I roasted some frozen ones and blended, and used that in the filling between layers and a little mixed in instead of the milk in the buttercream. I felt really successful and would make this again! A fun and yummy project.

    the strawberry buttercream may be the best thing I’ve ever made from this site! I wanted to put it on everything. The cake as whole was great and everyone loved it, however just the cake ended up being a little on the dry side without the frosting on it. Will be making it again

Like seriously the best chocolate cake I have ever had in my whole life. I don't usually love chocolate cake but my husband is obsessed, so I wanted to try this cake out for Valentines Day as a fun surprise. We both LOVEEEEED it! I am a lover of all things strawberry and he is a lover of all things chocolate, but we both loved everything about this cake. It's a match made in heaven! But I also think the cake and frosting are both delicious enough to stand on their own with other flavors. I made a few changes based on what I had available. I didn't have enough almond butter, so I used about half almond butter and half peanut butter. I also used two 20 cm (around 7.5 in) cake pans and followed the baking time for the 9 in pans and it turned out perfectly! I also skipped the chocolate ganache and instead made a heart on top with the Cocoa Coconut Chia & Flax Seed Blend from Whole Foods because it's my husband's favorite and decorated the edge with diced strawberries.

Grain-free and refined sugar-free is what attracted me even more, and the result was outstanding! I like cream cheese frosting, so I substituted 8 oz butter with 8 oz of cream cheese. No stores around had freeze-dried strawberries, so I had to use fresh fruit instead. I had no nut butter either and used tahini, since it is one of my pantry staples. The cake was sensational!!! Fruit and chocolate paired masterfully, presentation was great and the best thing was that it had only healthy ingredients! All you need with it is a glass of ice-cold water...and maybe an espresso.

    Delicious! Instead of a cake I made cupcakes and the recipe made about 15 cupcakes. Also made the strawberry buttercream icing, halved that recipe and it was more than enough for my liking! A great recipe.

I made this incredible cake on Valentine's Day for myself and it was absolutely delightful... One of the best cakes I've ever made/had. I ended up freezing a third of it for my mom and stepdad and they too said it's the best cake they've had. I made it dairy free, so used my favorite Enjoy Life mini chocolate chips for the ganache and Earth Balance original vegan butter in the frosting. I made it two tiered because I only had 9" pans available at the time, but feel like the chocolate ganache would have been more fun if I had done 3 tiers... Will definitely try 3 next time! Needless to say, I think saving 1/3 of it to share was the most self-restraint I've shown in a long time! Fantastic work with this recipe!!!

The frosting was so amazing. It had such a wonderful strawberry taste -- I will use this on many other things (cupcakes, vanilla cake, etc.) The coconut oil overpowered the chocolate taste somewhat so next time I might substitute the coconut oil with butter or maybe olive oil or canola oil?

    This cake was so delicious and so moist. The frosting was so amazing. It had such a wonderful strawberry taste — I will use this on many other things (cupcakes, vanilla cake, etc.) The coconut oil overpowered the chocolate taste somewhat so next time I might substitute the coconut oil with butter or maybe olive oil or canola oil?

My daughter's belated birthday event.The strawberry puree was an excellent replacement for the freeze-dried version in the recipe.

The glacage turned out really nice although I used butter instead of the coconut oil. Also, added some heavy cream to thin it out a bit. The cake was nice and moist. Nice combination of cacao, almost flour and almond butter. BTW, I used three 7 inch springform pans. Worked great. Will do it again. Thanks.

It turned out beautifully and is so delicious. I made it as directed in the recipe. I was worried about having enough frosting, so I spread a thin layer of raspberry jam between the three layers, with just a little bit of the frosting. This gave me plenty for the sides and top layer crumb coat, followed by another layer. We loved the flavor and texture of the cake and frosting! Thanks for a great recipe!

This was INCREDIBLE!!! Maybe the best cake I've ever had? The almond flour and almond butter work so perfectly in this cake. The strawberry frosting was the perfect compliment!! Oh my gosh!!! Wow, wow, wow! Everyone was raving about it at the party I brought it to. I did end up having to make two batches of the frosting - I probably only need an extra half a batch . I used a 9" circle instead of the 6" so maybe thats why? I cannot recommend this enough!! This is bliss! Thank you, Monique!

     I have had my eye on this recipe since you published it and it loved up to the anticipation! This was INCREDIBLE!!! Maybe the best cake I’ve ever had? The almond flour and almond butter work so perfectly in this cake. The strawberry frosting was the perfect compliment!! Oh my gosh!!! Wow, wow, wow! Everyone was raving about it at the party I brought it to.

     I did end up having to make two batches of the frosting – I probably only need an extra half a batch . I used a 9″ circle instead of the 6″ so maybe thats why?

     I cannot recommend this enough!! This is bliss! Thank you, Monique!
