2 ½tablespoonunsweetened coconut flakes..
Optional Garnish:
2tablespoonoptional chocolate chips for paleo or sugar free chocolate chips for low carb..Enjoy Life®
Instructions
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.
