No Bake Chocolate-Chili Cake Truffle for 1 Year Blog Anniversary


Rich, smooth, velvety, and decadent! This 5 ingredient No Bake Chocolate-Chili Cake is naturally gluten-free, and it seriously only takes 10 minutes to prepare.

You can make it in any sized pan, but a smaller and narrower pan will result in a bigger and thicker slice. If the cake doesn't set up properly in the fridge, try freezing it. I used half 'n half and the cake set up better in the freezer. If you use cream, I would guess it would set up better in the fridge due to the fat content of the cream.
This cake was the perfect dessert to celebrate my 1 Year Blog Anniversary. I started As Good As Gluten one year ago today! My blog has evolved a great deal over the past year. My soul purpose to start As Good As Gluten was to share my recipes with my family members who are also gluten-free. I had no idea how much my little blog would grow. It's still small compared to more popular blogs, but it's huge to me. A few nights ago, I went through all of my blog posts and noticed two things: one, my food photography skills have greatly improved. Second, I was reminded of tons of recipes that I love and haven't made in awhile. I'll be fixing that soon. I hope you've enjoyed the past year as much as I have!    --Lauren
