The ingredients list may look intimidating but the final results will blow you away. Actually I found that the directions where pretty easy to follow.
Let's Get Started…
The Ingredients To Gather:
- 154g (1¼ cups + 2 tbs) Coconut Flour
- 75g (¾ cup + 3 tbs) Unsweetened Dutch Processed Cocoa Powder
- 144g (¾ cup) Granulated Erythritol
- 1½ tsp Double-Acting Baking Powder
- ½ tsp Baking Soda
- ¼ tsp Salt
- 6 Large Organic Eggs
- 246g (1 cup) Unsweetened Applesauce
- ¾ cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
- ½ cup Brewed Coffee, cooled to room temperature
- 2 tbs Vanilla Extract
- 1 tbs Natural Butter Flavor
- 2 tsp Stevia Extract
How To Make The Homemade Frosting
- 135g (heaping ½ cup) Roasted Beet Puree (see Directions)
- ⅔ cup Light Coconut Milk, canned
- 1 tbs Vanilla Paste
- 1 tbs Natural Butter Flavor
- 105 (¾ cup) Powdered Erythritol
- 210g (10 scoops) Chocolate Brown Rice Protein Powder
The Step By Step Directions For The Cake:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray two 8” cake pans with cooking spray and line with parchment paper circles.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, cocoa powder, erythritol, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- In an electric stand mixer bowl fitted with a beater attachment, add the eggs, applesauce, almond milk, coffee, vanilla extract, butter flavor and stevia extract. Mix on low speed.
- Dump the dry ingredients into the stand mixer and mix until the ingredients are fully incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl if necessary.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pans. Tap the pan on the counter a few times to make sure it’s level. Bake for ~50 minutes, or until the surface springs back when tapped. Let cool in the pan.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Rinse and gently scrub 2 medium beets, then individually wrap them in foil. Place the beets on a jelly roll pan and bake for 1 hour, or until a fork pierces through the center of the beets with ease. Carefully unwrap the beets and let cool for 30 minutes.
- Scrape off the beet skins (they should peel off easily) and chop into chunks. Add the beet chunks to a blender and purée until completely smooth. While blending, add the coconut milk, vanilla paste, butter flavor and powdered erythritol.
- Pour the mixture into a bowl, then stir in the protein powder until thickened.
Finished!
The Final Result Is Pretty Amazing & Probably Unlike Anything You Have Ever Had Before.
