Grain Free Coconut Cake

Here is a great basic cake that you could add anything to. It is grain free & gluten free!  I used it as a shortcake for strawberries!


Ingredients:
  • 1 c. coconut flour
  • 1/2 tsp. Celtic sea salt
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 c. coconut yogurt (or plain whole yogurt)
  • 5 TBS. coconut oil, melted
  • 1/2 c. honey
  • 1 TBS. vanilla extract
  • 2 cups strawberries, mashed or any berries you want

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350* and adjust rack to middle position.  Butter a 9 in. round cake pan and dust with coconut flour to prevent sticking.  Place all cake ingredients in the bowl of food processor and blend until smooth.  Pour batter into cake pan and bake 25-30 min. or until just turning golden brown on top. Cool for 10 min., then run a knife around edges and invert onto a cake platter.  Cool completely.  Add strawberries to the top or cut cake in half and put berries in between the two layers.
