Coconut flour chocolate cake

An intense chocolate cake made only with coconut flour, lactose-free.

Rico's note: This 100% coconut flour chocolate cake is for when you want something intense with no lactose or gluten. Let the batter rest for the 5 minutes — coconut flour needs that time.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup coconut flour (112 g / 4 oz)
  • ½ cup 100% cocoa powder (60 g / 2 oz)
  • ⅔ cup white or brown sugar (135 g / 5 oz) — no added sugar: 1 cup erythritol (200 g)
  • 1 tsp baking soda (5 g)
  • 1 tsp baking powder (4 g)
  • ½ tsp salt (3 g)
  • 6 eggs (300 g / 10½ oz)
  • ½ cup melted coconut oil (100 g / 3½ oz)
  • ¾ cup coconut milk, or water (180 g / 6½ oz)

In the no-added-sugar version, eating too much erythritol or xylitol can have a laxative effect.

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F). Grease and line the pan (coconut flour sticks easily).
  2. Sift and combine the dry ingredients: coconut flour, cocoa, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
