Paleo Diet Friendly Chocolate Cake Recipe

People on the Paleo diet often miss sweets and baked goods. There are a number of ingredients that you can use to create delicious treats that are paleo friendly. This chocolate cake uses all paleo friendly ingredients.

This cake is grain-free and dairy free. It also contains no refined sugar or artificial ingredients.

Cake Ingredients:

• 4 ounces organic, dairy-free, unsweetened dark chocolate, cut into pieces
• 1/4 cup coconut oil
• 1/3 cups pure maple syrup
• 3 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
• 2 cups almond flour
• 1 teaspoons coconut flour
• 1/4 cup organic cacao powder
• 3/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/8 teaspoon cream of tartar

Instructions:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees. Line two nine-inch round pans with parchment.
• Place chocolate and coconut in a double boiler over boiling water. Stirring constantly, melt butter and chocolate until smooth and combined.
• Cool the mixture for ten minutes.
• While the mixture cools, whisk together maple syrup and eggs in a stand mixer or with a hand mixer using a whisk attachment until the mixture is light and fluffy, about six minutes.
• With the whisk still going, slowly add the cooled chocolate mixture and the vanilla.
• Sift almond flour, coconut flour, cacao powder, baking soda, and baking powder into a medium-sized bowl.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and fold together with a spatula until just combined. The batter will still have a few remaining streaks of flour.
• Pour the batter into the prepared cake pans. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
• Cool the cake in the pans on wire racks for ten minutes. Then, run a knife around the edge of the pan and invert the cakes onto wire racks. Allow to cool completely before frosting.
