Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup Coconut Flour
  • 6 Eggs
  • 1/4 cup Coconut Oil, melted
  • 1/4 cup Honey or Maple Syrup
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/4 tsp Salt

Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 8-inch round cake pan with coconut flour.

Combine Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted coconut oil, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until well combined.

Add Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Bake

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool and Serve

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve as is, or top with your favorite paleo-friendly frosting or berries.

    Yes, you can use other paleo-friendly sweeteners like monk fruit sweetener or stevia. Adjust the amount to your desired sweetness level.
  • How do I store this cake?

    Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
