CHOCOLATE ESPRESSO CAKE

Ingredients:​

Wet

• 4 eggs
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted (+ 1 tbsp of coconut oil for greasing pan)

Dry

• 2 1/2 cups almond flour
• 1/4 cup cacao powder or unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp. instant espresso powder
• 1/2 tsp. salt

1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and grease a small cake or loaf pan with some coconut oil. 

2.  In a large bowl mix all of the wet ingredients together.  Then, add in all of the dry ingredients.  Mix everything together with a large spoon until it makes a nice chocolatey cake batter. 

3.  Pour this cake batter into your small cake or loaf pan.  Use a spoon or spatula to smooth out the batter evenly so it's flat.

4.  Sprinkle a little bit of salt all over the top of the cake. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean. (Toothpick test: Insert toothpick into cake.  If toothpick comes out clean then the cake is done. If it's wet, bake a little longer.)

5.  Once cake is done, let it cool for 5 minutes before serving (or may break apart like in my picture above- haha) .

​Enjoy this delicious + healthy chocolatey treat!
