Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1-1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup tapioca flour
- 3T coconut flour
- 1 cup coconut sugar
- 3/4 cup raw cacao powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp instant coffee powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs, room temp
- 3/4 cup full-fat coconut milk (can)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Tools
- Measuring Spoons
- Measuring Cups
- Very Large Bowl
- Medium Mixing Bowl
- Whisk
- 10” x 2” Inch Round Cake Pans (3) - Equivalent to 9” x 2.5” Round Springform Pans (3)
- Spatula
- Cake Tester
Directions
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.
Grease three 10-inch round cake pans (or three 9-inch round Springform pans) and line the bottoms with parchment paper. I prefer to grease my pans with earth balance butter.
Add all of the dry ingredients to a very large mixing bowl and whisk together.
Add all of the wet ingredients to a separate medium mixing bowl and whisk together. Then, pour the wet ingredients into the dry and whisk together for 1-2 minutes to create your cake batter.
Pour batter into greased pans and cook for 28-30 minutes, or until a cake tester (or toothpick) comes out clean.
Once the cake has completely cooled, assemble the cake by adding chocolate avocado mousse or a chocolate frosting of your choice between layers and chocolate ganache to the top of cake. Decorate with chocolate shavings if desired.
- Keep in fridge.
