Paleo Chocolate Cake
This recipe was born of a brownie craving. What I ended up with was a moist, fluffy and amazing paleo chocolate cake -- not brownies! WOW!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 plantains
- 3 pastured eggs
- ¼ cup coconut oil melted
- ¼ cup raw honey
- ⅓ cup chocolate protein powder you can also substitute hemp protein or cocoa powder*
- 2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp sea salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- Optional: sometimes I like to give my chocolate treats a mocha flavor. When I do this I just add one packet of my favorite coffee to the mix. This stuff is a super healthy mushroom coffee, so it makes the chocolate treat a healthy mocha treat!
Instructions
- 1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
- 2. In a food processor, combine everything but the chocolate chips and process until smooth.
- 3. Grease a glass baking dish or brownie pan.
- 4. Add chocolate chips to the batter and stir until combined.
- 5. Pour into a baking dish and sprinkle with more chocolate chips.
- 6. Eat the leftover chocolate chips, it's okay I gave you permission!
- 7. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the center is not jiggly when you shake the pan.
- 8. Enjoy topped with homemade whipped cream, dusted with cocoa, or drizzled with Paleo Ganache.
