Paleo birthday cake….Coconut Chocolate Cake
1 cup 100% dark chocolate chopped
1/2 cup coconut milk
1 1/4 cups almond flour
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
2 eggs
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup chopped almonds
Preheat oven to 350 degrees,
melt chocolate and milk together either in microwave or over double boiler. Add rest of ingredients, mix well. Grease an 8″ round cake pan and line with parchment paper to make removing cake layer easier.
Bake 20-25 minutes
This makes 1 layer cake, however you may double the recipe and make 2 layers if you wish.
When cake is cooled, melt 1 cup of Dark Chocolate chips with 2 Tablespoons of Coconut oil this can be done quickly in microwave or double boiler…cool slightly until thickened, spread over top or between layers of your cake. Sprinkle with a 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut and or 1/2 cup chopped almonds.
Make some fresh whipping cream and PILE it on top…do not add any sweeteners
Top with some strawberries or blueberries, toasted coconut, chocolate shavings or more nuts
ENJOY!
