Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups finely-ground almond flour
- 1 1/2 cups coconut sugar
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa or cacao powder
- 3/4 cup arrowroot starch
- 4 1/2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon Wet Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups non-dairy milk
- 6 tablespoons grass-fed butter or coconut oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract For the Frosting
- Chocolate Avocado Frosting (shown here)
- Chocolate Sweet Potato Frosting
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease 2 (9-inch) cake pan. Set aside.
- Step 2: Add all of the dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl and whisk together.
- Step 3: Add all of the wet ingredients to another mixing bowl and stir together. Then, pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir together until a uniform batter is formed.
- Step 4: Divide the batter into the prepared pans, smoothing out the top as needed. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once cooked, place the cake on a cooling rack to cool completely before handling. The cooling time will also keep cooking the cake all the way through.
- Step 5: While the cake rests, prepare the frosting of choice.
- Step 6: Once the cake has completely cooled, smooth the frosting over the top and sides. Repeat with the remaining layers.
- Serve: Slice and enjoy. We find this cake best at room temperature or slightly warmed.
