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!

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!
