Since I posted this Peanut Butter Chocolate Marble Cake, (which has been made so many times!), I have had the gluten-free version in my todo list.
So this version is gluten-free, uses a mix of almond and rice flours and some chia for binding. No gums! I use cashew butter for the nut butter layer. You can use peanut butter, almond butter or other nut butter. Make the nut butter batter. Divide into 2 bowls. Add some cocoa to one and layer or swirl in and bake. You can also bake the batter swirled in a brownie pan for cake bars. Make these delicious nut butter chocolate marble cake and let me know how it turned out! More Valentine’s day dessert options here.
Nut butter batter layered with chocolate batter to make a gorgeous and delicious loaf that is soft, not dry and impresses everyone, glutenfree or not. The cake takes 15 mins to put together and works wonderfully as dessert or snack.

Prepare a heavy loaf pan (glass or stoneware) by lining with parchment. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a bowl, whisk 1/2 cup rice flour and rest of the dry ingredients and set aside. Add spices like 1/2 tsp cinnamon for additional flavor if you like.
