Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cup Coconut flour
- 0.33 cup Coconut oil
- 0.33 cup Honey
- 0.5 cup Full-fat coconut milk
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 cup Shredded unsweetened coconut
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch round cake pan with coconut oil and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, baking powder, and sea salt until well combined. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until they are pale and frothy, about 2 minutes. Add the melted coconut oil, honey, coconut milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and fully combined.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. The batter will be thick, which is normal for coconut flour-based recipes.
Gently fold the shredded unsweetened coconut into the batter for added texture and flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula to ensure even baking.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Slice and enjoy as is, or pair with your favorite whipped coconut cream or fresh fruit for an extra treat.
