Healthy Chocolate Cake

Yes, there really is hidden cauliflower in this moist chocolate cake recipe. And absolutely nobody can ever guess!

1 large head cauliflower,
2-3 tbsp olive oil or coconut oil
salt and optional pepper as desired

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or grease well. Cut cauliflower into florets, discarding the leaves. In a large bowl, toss cauliflower with the oil and any spices you wish (I usually add 1/2 tsp salt). Arrange in a single layer on the baking sheet, making sure not to crowd the cauliflower. If needed to fit it all, you can use a second baking sheet. Bake 25 minutes, or until florets are soft and edges begin to char. View Nutrition Facts
