Sneak some veggies into your kids’ desserts with this Paleo Pumpkin Chocolate Cake. The pumpkin (or other veggie) gives the cake a wonderful moist texture.<\/p>\n

When I first started sneaking veggies into baked goods, my primary goal was to get additional fiber and nutrients into my picky kiddos. But along the way, I learned that pureed veggies also lend moisture\u00a0to baked goods. And I became hooked on using them for the perfect texture!<\/p>\n

In this cake, I used half pumpkin and half fresh spinach pureed together. Other vegetables I use and you could consider are: steamed cauliflower, cooked sweet potato, raw zucchini, pureed carrots, and cooked spaghetti squash. With chocolate in particular, steamed beets can be great, and one time, I saw pureed tomatoes used in a recipe for “Thunder Cake!” While each vegetable has its own flavor, I generally use milder or sweeter ones so I can use less sugar and be sure my kids won’t figure it out!<\/p>\n

I kept this cake grain free, but I’m pretty sure an all-purpose flour would work too, gluten free or not! This cake disappeared really quickly in our house, and I bet it will in yours too!<\/p>\n
