Healthy Vanilla Birthday Cake with Chocolate Frosting

Step 1

Make the frosting first. In a double boiler (a saucepan filled with water with a glass bowl on top filled with chocolate chips), melt your chocolate and coconut cream. The coconut cream is just the hard white part at the top of the can. Discard the remaining liquid or use in smoothies.

Step 2

Once melted completely, let bowl rest on counter for 15 minutes. Then place in fridge for 2 hours.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 325F and grease 3 6-inch cake pans. You can most likely use two 8 inch, just cook for a little bit longer.

Step 4

In a large bowl, combine your almond flour, arrowroot, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

In a smaller bowl, whisk eggs, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla, and lemon juice.

Step 6

Add wet ingredients to dry and stir until combined. Divide evenly amongst three cake pans.

Step 7

Bake uncovered for 28-30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.

Step 8

Let cool completely. Meanwhile, take frosting out of fridge. If it is too hard to blend, let sit for 15 minutes at room temp. If it’s soft, whisk with hand mixer until fluffy. If you don’t have hand mixer, whisk well with a hand whisk.

Step 9

Ice completely cooled cake and top with sprinkles.
