Ingredients

• 0.75 cup Coconut flour
• 0.33 cup Coconut oil
• 0.33 cup Honey
• 0.5 cup Full-fat coconut milk
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.25 cup Shredded unsweetened coconut

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch round cake pan with coconut oil and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, baking powder, and sea salt until well combined. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until they are pale and frothy, about 2 minutes. Add the melted coconut oil, honey, coconut milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and fully combined.

Step 4

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. The batter will be thick, which is normal for coconut flour-based recipes.

Step 5

Gently fold the shredded unsweetened coconut into the batter for added texture and flavor.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula to ensure even baking.

Step 7

Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Step 9

Slice and enjoy as is, or pair with your favorite whipped coconut cream or fresh fruit for an extra treat.
