Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups blanched almond flour
  • ½ cup coconut sugar
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • ⅓ cup melted coconut oil, plus extra for greasing
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 4 oz paleo dark chocolate, melted and slightly cooled

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment.
  2. Whisk the almond flour, coconut sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
  3. Add the eggs, coconut oil, vanilla, and almond milk to the dry ingredients and stir until combined. Fold in the melted dark chocolate.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25 to 28 minutes, until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
  5. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Cool the cake all the way before slicing for the cleanest pieces. If you want a warm slice, wait at least 15 minutes after it comes out of the oven so it holds together.
