Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate cake:

  • 1 cup coconut sugar (cane sugar, date sugar or maple sugar should work too. not a liquid sugar though!)
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour (I haven’t used another flour but I’d guess about 1 1/4 cup almond flour would work)
  • 1/2 cup cacao powder
  • 1/3 cup liquid coconut oil 
  • 6 large pasture-raised eggs at room temperature (I don’t recommend flax egg)
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup coconut milk (or any nut milk – not from a can)
