Thinking about a box of chocolates? Think again, because this cake has it all! Another recipe perfect for Valentine's Day, Galentine's Day, or a day for self-love (that is, by making this recipe), this cake is entirely date-sweetened as well as paleo. It features 3 layers: a date-chocolate-hazelnut crust, a Paleo Nutella layer, and a chocolate hazelnut filling layer. And each slice has a unique "playing piece" that takes the form of Chocolate Hazelnut Silk Truffles, Choco-Hazelnut Fudges, piped Paleo Nutella, and crushed hazelnuts, but you can customize the toppings. This is where the cake gets its "chessboard" name from. Even better yet: all the toppings are sweetened strictly with whole dates, just like every layer of the cake itself. Indulge in this guilt-free chocolatey, nutty treat to treat yo' self for Valentine's/Galentine's/or a day for yourself.
