Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Instructionsgrain free cake

  1. Preheat oven to 375*.
  2. Blend the dates into a paste. Add wet ingredients and stir until well-combined.
  3. In a separate bowl combine all dry ingredients and stir until lumps are gone.
  4. Combine wet and dry until well combined. Mix very thoroughly to ensure there aren’t any date chunks. The dates are the natural sweetness in the recipe. Feel free to add more dates if needed to suite your sweet tooth. The 5 dates make a dark chocolate cake, more may be needed for more sweetness.
  5. Lightly grease a round 9″ cake pan ( coconut oil is an option I like), and pour batter into dish. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
