There sure is!
My mom's birthday was last month and my whole family is really trying to be healthy, but I still wanted to make something special for her. There is even a 90 day challenge going on with myself, my husband and brother to prep for our vacation in June. Even though we are trying to have a healthy lifestyle doesn't mean we can't have dessert. I wanted to make a cake for my mom because what is a birthday without a birthday cake. I was browsing online and found one that looked awesome. I had a few of the ingredients so I decided to try it out.
The recipe calls for:
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup coconut flour
1/4 coconut oil, melted
1/4 cup cocoa
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 eggs
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
pinch of sea salt
-- Preheat the oven to 320 degrees.
-- Combine all the dry ingredients. (cocoa, coconut flour, cinnamon, baking powder and sea salt) Mix together.
-- Add the eggs, honey, coconut oil, vanilla. Mix together.
-- Pour mixture into a greased round regular cake pan. I just sprayed the pan with some coconut oil.
-- Bake for 25 minutes.
-- Top with shredded coconut. You could also make an icing as well or some powdered sugar. I went the healthiest route I could think of and it paired well with the coconut flour in the cake.
This cake was delicious and very moist! It's definitely worth trying out. I am now obsessed with coconut flour. It smells so good and is a great substitute for regular white flour. We have since made pancakes with the coconut flour.
ENJOY & HOPE YOUR BIRTHDAY WAS A GREAT ONE MOM!
