A Birthday Prayer
I made a coconut flour chocolate cake for mommy with all healthy ingredients. It was our first time trying it and it turned out great!!! You wouldn't know it wasn't "normal". :) I'm going to share the recipe with you all below:
Chocolate Cake (and it's gluten free too!)
3/4 cup coconut flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
10 eggs
1 cup coconut oil
1 1/2 cups agave nectar
1 Tbls vanilla
1/4 tsp orange zest (optional)
Directions: Melt coconut oil. In large bowl combine wet ingredients. Add dry and blend well. Pour into 2 nine inch greased and floured (using coconut flour) cake pans. Bake at 325 for 35-40 minutes. Enjoy!!!
Icing (you may have to play around with it a little, but it tastes great!)
1 3/4 cups agave nectar
1 cup coconut sugar
1 1/4 cups cocoa
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/4 cups coconut oil (melted)
Blend all in blender until smooth and creamy. (it thickens up after you let it sit a while - can put in fridge to help set as well). Ice cake and enjoy!

The cake sounds great! I have NEVER heard of coconut flour! Besides being gluten free does it have other benefits?
Thank you for posting the recipe, Savannah! I'll have to try it soon. :) ~Shiloh
Oh and...
Happy Birthday Mrs. Cochran!
Thanks for the recipe--my sister and mother are both gluten free, so I'm always anxious to find new GF recipes. We have coconut flour, but I don't think we've ever made anything substantial with it, so I'm excited to give this a try!
Happy Birthday, Mrs. Cochran!!!! The Lord bless you!!!!!!! We love you!
I'm glad you all are excited about the recipe!! It has become one of our favorites!!
We just recently started using coconut flour (the past couple months) and have really enjoyed the things we've made with it. I'll try to remember to post more recipes. :)
As far as the health benefits go, it's gluten free, very low carb, supposedly lowers the calorie content of food, and aids in digestion health as well as helping to balance blood sugar levels.
Blessings!
