The Recipe
Gluten Free Black Forest Cake Ball Truffles
Ingredients
1 cup gluten free flour blend
¾ cup coconut sugar
¼ cup cacao powder
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
¼ cup coconut oil (melted)
1 egg (for vegan option use flax egg or favorite egg substitute)
½ cup almond milk (or any non-dairy milk of choice)
½ cup hot water
1 tsp vanilla extract
Rawmio Chocolate Covered Sweet Cherries
¾ cup dark chocolate chips (melted)
½ cup vanilla frosting
Steps
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare an 8” cake pan with parchment paper and lightly spray with oil
to prevent sticking.

4. Use a whisk and incorporate the dry mixture into your wet mixture.
5. Add in hot water until combined.
6. Pour cake batter into prepared cake pan and bake in oven for 20 minutes.
7. Allow cake to cool completely.
8. While cake is cooling, melt your dark chocolate chips.
9. Crumble your cake into a bowl and add in vanilla frosting, mixing with a fork.
10. Make your cake balls by scooping out 2 Tbsp of cake mixture and flatten into discs. Insert one or
multiple (depending on size) Rawmio Chocolate Covered Sweet Cherries into center of disc. Use your
hands to roll into balls (recipe makes about 12 cake balls).
11. Roll the cake balls in melted chocolate and place on parchment paper. Refrigerate to allow chocolate
coating to harden.
12. Enjoy!
