Yields1 Serving
Dry Ingredients
 3 cups almond flour
 1 cup tapioca flour
 ¼ cup coconut flour
 1 ¼ cups coconut sugar
 1 ½ cups raw cacao powder
 2 tsp baking soda
 1 tsp espresso powder
 2 tsp ground cinnamon
 1 tsp sea salt
  cup chopped pecans, toasted (optional and sprouted, if possible)
Wet Ingredients
 4 large cage-free eggs, room temp
 1 ½ cups canned coconut milk (light or full fat)
 1 cup filtered water
  cup coconut oil, melted
 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
 2 tsp vanilla extract
Frosting Ingredients
 2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
 ½ cup cacao powder
 ¼ cup raw/local honey
 ¼ cup monk fruit sweetener
 1 tbsp coconut oil
 1 tsp vanilla extract
 ½ tsp salt
Directions for Cake:
1

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.

2

Grease two 9-inch cake pans with coconut oil cooking spray and line the bottom with parchment paper. Set aside.

3

Add all of the dry ingredients, except pecans (if using) to a very large mixing bowl and whisk together.

4

Add all of the wet ingredients to a separate medium mixing bowl and whisk together.

5

Then, pour the wet ingredients into the dry and whisk together for 1-2 minutes to create your cake batter.

6

Evenly divide the batter between the two baking pans and cook for 32-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

7

Once the cake has completely cooled (approximately 1 hour), assemble the cake by adding the chocolate frosting between both layers and frosting the outside. Top with pecans and serve!

Directions for Frosting:
8

Place all ingredients except the coconut oil in a food processor and mix on high until well combined and completely smooth – you may need to stop a 2-3 times and scrape down the sides of the bowl/blender.

9

With the motor running, slowly drizzle in the coconut oil and continue to blend until smooth and creamy.

10

Frost your cake and store on the counter, covered, up to 3 days and then place in the fridge for another 3-4 days or freeze up to 3 months – if it lasts past 3 days on the counter!
