Fudgy Chocolate Skillet Cake Recipe (with Video)

1. Heat the oven to 400°.
2. Grease a 6-6.5" cast iron skillet.
3. In a medium bowl whisk the almond flour, coconut sugar, cocoa powder, espresso powder and salt.
4. In a 2-cup measuring glass, pour in the almond milk and vanilla extract. Add the flax egg (or regular egg) and whisk until combined.
5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until combined.
6. Stir in the 2 tablespoons chocolate chips.
7. Pour the batter into the skillet and smooth across the entire pan for an even layer. Sprinkle more chocolate chips over the top, if desired.
8. Place the pan in the oven for 18-20 minutes. The center will look dry and set and the edges will be darker.
9. Remove from the oven and let it rest for about 10-15 minutes to give it a chance to settle and cool a bit.
10. Top with your ice cream of choice and carefully dig in, keeping in mind that the skillet will be hot.
