Paleo chocolate cake

Giving up grains, dairy, refined sugar and processed/junk food doesn’t mean no treats! This cake was so easy and very tasty, the kids loved helping and eating!

I pinched the recipe from Paleolithic diet recipe book, originally called chocolate loaves.

Makes a small cake, can double the recipe and make 2 with a filling e.g. Cashew nut butter, in the middle.

Ingredients:

2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

2/3 cup coconut flour

1/3 cup arrowroot

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda

5 eggs

1/4 cup raw coconut oil – melted

2/3 cup raw honey

1 tsp natural vanilla extract

Method:

Preheat your oven to 160•C (140•C fan) grease a small cake tin or 8 individual loaf tins.

Sift together the dry ingredients.

Beat together the wet ingredients and add to dry ingredients. Fold through until incorporated.

Pour the batter into your tin or oven proof dish. Bake for 25-30 min until cake tester comes out clean.

Remove to a wire rack to cool before serving.

Nut butter / coconut butter made a nice topping, otherwise my kids favourite is to make some Nice-cream (blended frozen berries & banana) topped with frozen blueberries, or add some fruit or just enjoy plain.
