  • 0.5 teaspoon salt (to enhance flavor)
  • 2/3 cup coconut oil (melted for moisture and richness)
  • 1.5 cups maple syrup (or honey for sweetness)
  • 1.5 cups cocoa powder (unsweetened for a rich chocolate flavor)
  • 6 large eggs (for binding and structure)
  • 1.5 cups milk (unsweetened almond milk works great)

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking.
  2. Step 2: Grease your two 9-inch round baking pans with coconut oil or line them with parchment paper.
  3. Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sifted coconut flour, arrowroot flour, baking soda, baking powder, cocoa powder, and salt. Whisk until well combined.
  4. Step 4: In another bowl, mix together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup (or honey), eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  5. Step 5: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold together using a spatula until just combined.
  6. Step 6: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Step 7: Cool the cakes in the pans for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  8. Step 8: Once cool, frost with your favorite chocolate frosting and enjoy!
