Primal Chocolate Coconut Cake

A couple Saturdays ago, our buddy Josh had his 23rd birthday. I compulsively make birthday cakes for people, but this was the first actual cake I've made for someone since my evolution to Primal. So after hours of sifting through recipes and comments and negotiating search terms with Google, I found this:


Primal Chocolate Cake with Coconut Flour

What I did differently: 

  • A total cup of combination coconut oil and butter instead of the grapeseed oil
  • 1.5 cups total of maple syrup and agave nectar
What I wish I had done: 

  • used coconut sugar or sucanat. It needed a lighter sweetness than the maple and agave. 

For the frosting, I used:

  • heavy whipping cream, whipped
  • maple syrup
Then I stuck a bunch of Reese's Pieces on top, because we like to party.





This was gone pretty quickly and it's much healthier in comparison to what I had been making every year prior. I'll definitely be using this recipe many more times.
