The gluten-free lifestyle doesn’t banish you from eating sweet treats. All you have to do is leave out the gluten ingredients or find the proper substitutes. Because flour is one of the main ingredients you have to leave out from any recipe, you can easily switch to gluten-free flours such as almond, coconut, or oat. However, there are plenty of more to try!
If you have a sweet tooth, then we can suggest ten super delicious flourless cakes. Trust us; you won’t even miss the flour or even spot a difference. These cakes are very easy to prepare, and most of them are ready in less than an hour!
1. Chocolate Cake

Apple and cinnamon are a very known combination to all of us. It especially gets popular during the fall and in the winter, but in reality, no matter when you eat, it tastes great. This cake contains all ingredients that we love – cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, vanilla, walnuts, brown sugar. Instead of flour, use almond meal and shredded coconut. Use homemade cream topping made out of honey, cinnamon, sugar, cream cheese, and butter. You will love this cake!
7. Black Forest Cherry Cake
The famous Black Forest cake is all about good quality chocolate and cherries. Originally known as Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte, this cake originates from Germany, and luckily it can easily adapt to a flourless version. The cake is ready in 50 minutes and is ideal for any occasion, especially gatherings. The topping is different in many Black Forest recipes, so here we have chocolate-dipped cherries, and if you want to, feel free to decorate with whipped cream as well.
8. Chocolate Hazelnut Cake
Since we can’t get enough of chocolate, it’s fair to add some more chocolate recipes, and we’re pretty sure you wouldn’t mind. This time we present you with a chocolate hazelnut cake, but the star ingredient here isn’t the chocolate or the hazelnuts. It’s Ferrero Rocher! These super delicious, crunchy chocolate hazelnut balls make the cake such a delicious treat no matter the occasion’s type.

This cake truly is unique. Thanks to the green color it gets from the matcha, the cake stands out from the crowd, and we definitely recommended it, especially if you’re a matcha fan. The matcha isn’t just used for the cake batter but for dusting as well. You can also use double cream and some fruit, as in this case – strawberries. Our second main ingredient is white chocolate which matches perfectly and gives that chocolate experience we all crave for!
10. Angel Food Cake

This angel cake tastes angelic, so no wonder why it got that name! Unlike all of the flourless cakes on this list which used just one gluten-free flour, the Angel Food cake contains all tapioca, white rice, and coconut flour. It has a simple, light texture, but if you want to add more of a dense taste, add fresh fruit, such as berries – they always match any dessert!
