for the frosting:
- 1 can of full-fat coconut milk chilled overnight in the fridge
- 2-3 Tablespoons cocoa powder
- 4 Tablespoons raw honey
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
- Dairy-free chocolate chips optional
for the cake:
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees and spray an 8 inch cake pan with non-stick spray.
Sift together the cake flour, baking powder, and salt, and set aside in a bowl.
In a mixer, whip together the honey, maple syrup, eggs, Almondmilk, and vanilla with the paddle attachment.
Slowly add the sifted dry ingredients to the bowl of wet ingredients and mix until combined.
Slowly pour in the melted coconut oil and continue to mix until totally combined, being sure to scrap the sides. (The batter will be pretty thin.)
Place the batter in the prepared pan and bake in the oven for 22-30 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out free of batter. (Sometimes this cake can cook a lot faster or slower than others, so start watching it closely.)
Allow the cake to cool completely.
for the frosting:
Open the can of chilled coconut milk. Discard the thin liquid and scoop the hardened cream into a mixing bowl.
Whip in 3 tablespoons of honey and continue to whip until combined and the mixture resembles whipped cream.
Whip in the vanilla, the last tablespoon of honey, and 2-3 tablespoons of cocoa powder (to taste.)
Coat your cake in chocolate coconut cream frosting, and sprinkle with chocolate chips, if desired.
Keep the frosted cake in the fridge until ready to serve.
