Gluten-Free Cake Brownies

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Gluten-Free Cake Brownies are flakey and delicious and totally paleo-friendly! Grain-free, dairy-free, and soy-free, too! | spiritedandthensome.comGluten-Free Cake Brownies are flakey and delicious and totally paleo-friendly! Grain-free, dairy-free, and soy-free, too! | spiritedandthensome.comPicking a favorite brownie recipe is like picking a favorite Jane Austen novel. As soon as I’m convinced my answer is Pride and Prejudice, I remember Persuasion, and I’m completely undone. So, yes, I’m in love with Creamy Paleo Brownies AND Fudgy Paleo Brownies. I simply cannot pick a favorite. Furthermore, I was totally trying to decide between fudgy and cakey brownies recently when I decided to settle the matter and just make ALL THE BROWNIES. Because you can never have too many brownies. So, today, we have Gluten-Free Cake Brownies. And I feel Jane Austen would approve. This is how we dessert in our house, Spiriteds, and how we share desserts with others who may or may not eat the same way we do.

Whereas Fudgy Paleo Brownies are thick and rich and creamy, Gluten-Free Cake Brownies are light, flakey, and just as they sound…cakey. They also yield more in one batch than do other brownie recipes on the blog, making them the perfect gluten-free cake recipe for birthday parties. Dust a little powdered sugar over the top, frost them to your heart’s content, or leave them as is. Any which way you serve them, Gluten-Free Cake Brownies are still full of gluten-free chocolatey goodness. 

Gluten-Free Cake Brownies are deliciously chocolatey and grain-free, dairy-free, and soy-free, too! Paleo-friendly! | spiritedandthensome.comEven better? Your tastebuds will never know Gluten-Free Cake Brownies are also a dairy-free, grain-free, soy-free, and paleo-friendly chocolate dessert recipe. These brownies are so delish it just simply won’t matter that they are free of ALL THE THINGS. And if you do want your Gluten-Free Cake Brownies to also be paleo, then check out The Family That Heals Together and their blog post, How to Make Baking Powder Paleo.

Gluten-Free Cake Brownies are grain-free, dairy-free, and soy-free, too! They are also paleo-friendly and full of chocolatey flavor! | spiritedandthensome.comPrepping these brownies isn’t much different than prepping any other type of brownie or cake recipe, gluten-free or otherwise. So if you feel apprehensive about trying it, worry not. I remember stressing out every time I tried paleo baking. My brain absolutely could not compute the difference between traditional baking and paleo baking. I had the subpar results to prove it, too. 

Like, maybe I needed an engineering degree to make the leap. Or perhaps I needed to be trilingual in English, German, and Paleo Baking? Probably I should have paid a little more attention in 8th grade Home Ec. Because I totally did NOT pay attention, and my sewing skills are about as good as my early baking abilities. Except, in 8th grade, I also absolutely did not know what it meant to be gluten-free or what a food allergy was. 

Gluten-Free Cake Brownies are light and fluffy and deliciously crumbly! | spiritedandthensome.comI was, however, fully aware of my braces (I even got to wear rubber bands!), my obsession with the color navy, and boys. Was I ever awkward? With braces, rubber bands on my incisors, and oversized navy Polos matched with black denim, how could I be even remotely awkward? #ThankYouForUnderstanding

So, dental conundrums, fashion faux pas, and crushes aside, maybe make these brownies for a birthday party. Or just make ALL the brownies and cuddle up with a Jane Austen masterpiece. Because in this tight knit Spirited community, you don’t have to pick a favorite. And you are fully welcome to be awkward.

Gluten-Free Cake Brownies are utterly delicious, paleo-friendly, grain-free, dairy-free, and soy-free, too! | spiritedandthensome.com

Notes

Paleo baking is a little different than traditional baking, so I typically check my brownies at around the 15-minute mark, and then periodically thereafter until it reaches the desired consistency.
