Gluten Free Coconut Almond Brownie Cake (paleo, gluten free and dairy free)

I don't know why but many times dairy intolerance goes hand and hand with Celiac disease.  Luckly I don't struggle with that yet. Dairy is a hard one to cut out.  Here's one for my dairy free friends.

I love Almond Joy candy bars.  While they are free of gluten ingredients, they have corn in them which I am sensitive to.  So it's with that craving, I made this brownie cake.  It has the chewiness of a brownie but soft like a cake and so moist.  I wanted to make a coconut "whipping cream" frosting but it failed so I'll study up on that and make it another time.  It doesn't need any topping, we had it with coffee and it was perfect.
