Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • 1/4 cup Oil
  • 4 Eggs
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Almond Flour
  • 3/4 cup Cocoa Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon Pure Almond Extract

For the Ganache Frosting:

  • 1/4 cup Coconut Milk
  • 1 1/2 cups Chocolate chopped (make sure it is good quality)
  • 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil
  • pinch of Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract

Instructions

To Make the Cake:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F
  • Prepare a 9-inch square baking tray by lining the bottom with parchment and lightly spraying it with oil.
  • Separate the eggs and place yolks in one bowl and egg whites in another.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form
  • Then add the almond butter and oil into the bowl with the egg yolks and mix well with the same electric mixer.
  • Add in the salt, sugar, almond meal, cocoa, almond extract and vanilla extract and mix well with electric mixer.
  • Then, using a spatula, fold in the egg whites into the yolk/almond mix.
  • Spoon the mix into the prepared baking tray and bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes.
  • Let cool completely.
  • While cake is cooling, remove ganache frosting from the fridge so it is more spreadable.
  • When cake is cool, spread it with ganache frosting and enjoy.

To Make the Ganache Frosting:

  • Set the chocolate in a bowl.
  • Add the coconut milk into a pan and place it on the stove to warm up. When milk is warm, add it to the bowl with the chocolate. Cover the bowl with a cover or plate and set aside for 10 minutes.
  • At this time the chocolate should have melted, so, using a spatula mix the chocolate and coconut milk well.
  • Add in the coconut oil, salt and vanilla and mix well.
  • Then, set aside in the refrigerator for it to harden a bit.
