Ultimate Paleo Chocolate Cake

As I mentioned before my husband and I try to stick to the paleo diet as much as possible and the thng that makes it so much easier to stick too is the paleo cake recipes. When we met we were amazed at our mutual passion for choccie cake and that still hasn't changed, but thankfully we can use alternative ingredients for a similar result. This cake is light, fluffy and so decadent. So easy to make that really it doesn't need to only come out on your birthday. So as promised, here is that recipe for this little bite of heaven.

Cake:
  • 3 cups almond flour
  • ¼ cup coconut flour
  • ¾ cup raw cacao powder
  • ½ cup raw coconut palm sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1 cup coconut milk, full fat
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons raw honey
Chocolate Frosting:
  • 10 tablespoons coconut milk, full fat
  • 1 bar of Green and Blacks Organic 95% dark chocolate
Cake:
  1. preheat oven at 350°F
  2. grease the bottom and sides of a 7-inch springform pan with coconut oil and line the bottom with parchment paper
  3. in a large bowl mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, raw cacao powder, raw coconut palm sugar, baking soda and salt
  4. in a separate bowl whisk together the coconut oil, coconut milk, eggs, vanilla and honey
  5. using a rubber spatula, gently mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients to form a batter. Do not over mix.
  6. pour batter into prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 45-50 minutes. If you feel you need to cook it longer, cover cake with aluminum foil to prevent burning the top and lower the heat to 325°F. Cook until toothpick comes out clean.
Chocolate Frosting:
  1. melt the chocolate chips in a bowl over simmering water (double boiler)
  2. mix coconut milk with melted chocolate until all is combined and smooth
  3. let cool for 5 minutes before icing the cake

And enjoy, this cake will serve about 10-12 people. Or a husband and wife duo who love large portions for  3 days.

Happy Baking,
