Dry Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups almond flour
• 3/4 cup coconut flour
• 2/3 cup cocoa powder unsweetened, or raw cacao powder
• 1/4 cup flax seed meal
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon sea salt

Wet Ingredients

• 1/2 cup pastured butter (1 stick)
• 3/4 cup ZenSweet Monk Fruit Sweetener
• 4 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup almond milk or coconut milk beverage
• 1/3 cup coffee strongly brewed

1. Preheat the oven to 350º F. Grease 2 8-inch pans, and line the bottoms with a circle of parchment paper. Set aside.
2. In a medium sized mixing bowl, add all of the dry ingredients, and whisk to combine and break up any clumps in the coconut flour.
3. In a mixer bowl, add the butter, and beat until fluffy. Add the ZenSweet monk fruit sweetener, eggs, and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until combined.
4. Add half of the dry ingredients into the mixer bowl, and mix until incorporated. Alternate between adding the rest of the dry ingredients, the almond milk, and the coffee, and mix until just combined.
5. Split the cake batter evenly between the two prepared pans, smoothing over the tops.
6. Bake the cakes for 25-30 minutes, until fully cooked on the outer edges and slightly under baked in the center. Keeping the cake slightly under baked in the center is key to a moist and fudgy cake.

We list the bake time as 25-30 minutes, but recommend you start checking it at the 25 minute mark. This cake will have the best texture if it’s slightly underdone in the center, but fully cooked around the edges. The slightly underdone center will mostly finish cooking after you’ve removed it from the oven.
