HEALTHY Chocolate Cake Instructions

1. Begin by preheating the oven to 350 degrees
2. Mix both the wet and dry ingredients together separately
3. Combine the dry and wet ingredients together
4. Coconut flour can often be very tough to mix so you can use a blender or food processor but only blend it until it is mixed together and be careful not to overdo it.
5. Grease a large baking pan (9×13) or 2 small pans and pour in the batter.
6. Bake the mixture for 35-40 minutes (25-30 minutes if using smaller pans). Check if the cake is done by putting a toothpick to see if it comes out clean to ensure it is cooked through.
7. Let the finished cake cool and top it with the chocolate frosting

Chocolate Frosting Instructions

1. Mix all the ingredients together in a food processor until it is all whipped up.
2. You can serve this immediately and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week.
3. If you want to store it longer, you can put it in the freezer.
4. Make sure the cake cools down before applying the frosting or it will melt into a chocolate liquid.

Special Notes

In the original recipe, she had ¾ – 1 cup of honey in the cake and ½ cup of maple syrup in the frosting.  This is WAY TOO MUCH sugar for me so I changed the recipe and substituted liquid stevia.  Another good alternative would be to use monk fruit if you are sensitive to stevia.
Coconut flour is very drying and absorbs a lot of fluid.  This is why we use 16 eggs in this recipe to get the coconut flour to bake properly and form into a fluffy cake.
