Coconut Flour Chocolate Cake

Tropical Traditions - Recipe - Coconut Flour Chocolate Cake





                                                                   my low carbs version









  • 1 cup
    butter ( or coconut oil)- softened
  • 2/3 cup natural sugar ( xylitol, raw coconut sugar or other natural sweetener)
  • 10 eggs (at room temperature)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups coconut flour ( sometimes I replace 1/2 cup coconut flour with 1 cup almond meal
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/3 cup milk /coconut milk
  • Coconut oil
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease two 9 inch or 8 inch layer pans with
coconut oil and dust with cocoa powder.


In an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine butter and
sweetener and beat together for about 2 minutes. Add eggs in one at a time and beat high speed for
about 3 minutes. Add in the vanilla while beating the eggs and butter mixture. In a separate bowl,
combine the dry ingredients together and add alternately with the milk to the butter mixture. Beat
batter for about five minutes on high speed. Spoon batter into the two prepared cake pans (x2) and
smoothen out tops.

 Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into the center of
cake comes out clean. Place pans on wire rack and cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans.

Cool cakes completely before frosting.

 Use your favorite frosting to frost the cake.


Peppermint Chocolate cake variation: add 1 teaspoon peppermint extract to
batter before pouring into pans and mix well. Frost cake with peppermint frosting ( whipped cream, coconut cream)


Cupcakes: Make recipe as directed but spoon batter into muffin cups and bake
for about 26-30 minutes. Frost after cupcakes have cooled completely. Makes about 24 cupcakes.
