Luscious Coconut Chocolate Cake
Luscious Coconut Chocolate Cake
"This luscious coconut chocolate cake is so yummy it doesn’t need frosting. Adding whole wheat flour to a cake is usually a recipe for a dry, heavy disaster. So what makes this one so good? Organic extra virgin coconut oil adds a velvety layer of moisture that creates a dense, moist texture that’s, well–luscious! It also elevates the flavor of the cocoa for chocolaty, coconutty combination that can’t be beat. And on top of all that, the whole thing takes about five minutes to throw together. And did we mention, it’s also vegan? Life is uncertain, eat dessert first. Especially when it’s coconut chocolate cake."
Yields1 1/8-inch cake (double the recipe if you want to make a layer cake)
