Amazing Paleo Chocolate Cake (gluten-free, dairy-free)

Ingredients

• 3 cups almond flour
• 1 cup tapioca flour
• 1/4 cup coconut flour
• 2 cups coconut sugar
• 1 1/2 cups raw cacao powder
• 2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp espresso powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 4 large eggs
• 1 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup coconut oil
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 recipe Vegan Chocolate Buttercream Frosting

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit.

2. 2

   Grease three 8-inch cake pans and line the bottom with parchment paper. I prefer to grease my pans with ghee or organic palm shortening as coconut oil can leave a slight coconut taste. Set these aside.

3. 3

   Add all of the dry ingredients to a very large mixing bowl and whisk together.

4. 4

   Add all of the wet ingredients to a separate medium mixing bowl and whisk together. Then, pour the wet ingredients into the dry and whisk together for 1-2 minutes to create your cake batter.

5. 5

   Evenly divide the batter between the three baking pans and cook for 28-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

6. 6

   Once the cake has completely cooled, assemble the cake by adding the chocolate buttercream frosting between each layer and frosting the outside.
