Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 F and grease or oil a 8x8 pan.
  • In a large bowl, sift together coconut flour and cocoa powder.
  • Add: sweetener of choice, cinnamon, eggs, almond milk, coconut oil, coffee extract, raw coconut butter, and stevia if using the low carb sweetener option.
  • Mix thoroughly, breaking up any clumps (coconut flour likes to clump).
  • In separate pinch bowl, combine: baking soda and apple cider vinegar (will be very fizzy).
  • Add baking soda vinegar mixture to coconut flour mixture and stir in thoroughly. Spoon cake batter into prepared pan and spread around evenly, and set aside. In a medium size bowl, combine all the topping ingredients, and mix into a paste like consistency.
  • Spoon topping on the middle and the 4 corners of the top of cake batter, and swirl topping around (don’t try to cover entire cake, it should look swirled).
  • Bake for 20 to 28 minutes, but check at 20 minutes. The topping should have formed a crust and cake should be somewhat firm in center.
  • Remove from oven and cool. Once cake is cooled, slice into 10 squares and garnish with optional chocolate chips. I put about 4 to 5 chips on each square.
