Looking for raw chocolate cake recipes? We love this raw cacao recipe from Sally O'Neill.
What remains is a nutritionally-dense, and delicious, raw powder.
Ingredients
- ½ cup melted coconut oil
- ½ cup raw cacao powder
- ½ cup rice malt syrup
- 9 free-range eggs
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ cup coconut flour
- 1 tsp natural vanilla extract
- ½ tsp Himalayan sea salt
Frosting
- 1 avocado
- 2 tbsp granulated stevia or rice malt syrup
- 4 tbsp raw cacao powder
Garnish (optional)
- ¼ cup coconut flakes
- ¼ cup smashed fresh raspberries
- 2 tsp dried red fruits or red tea blend
- 1 tbsp crushed nuts
Method
Preheat oven to 160°C. Whisk together coconut oil, raw cacao powder and rice malt syrup, and allow to cool. Using a hand-held mixer, beat eggs in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy (approximately two minutes). Add cooled chocolate mix and beat again until combined. In a large bowl add dry ingredients, mix well, then add wet ingredients. Mix together and pour into a lined 20cm cake tin.
Bake for one hour, or until a skewer removes cleanly. Meanwhile, blend together frosting ingredients until smooth. Top the cake, then garnish as desired.
