How to make a very easy chocolate cake:
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Prepare 12 inch round cake pan. Place an unbleached parchment paper on the bottom and spray some avocado oil or melted butter.
- Sift the flour and cacao. Add coconut sugar and baking powder. Mix the dry ingredients.
- Add 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1 cup warm milk, and a half cup of melted butter. Mix until smooth.
- When the batter is smooth, add 1 cup of boiling hot water. Mix again until smooth.
- Bake for 60 minutes in a preheated oven. Let cool.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the frosting. Whip 8 oz butter and 8 oz cream cheese. Add coconut sugar and vanilla extract. Whip until smooth. Set aside.
- Cut off the top bumpy part of the cake. The top part is for making crumbs.
- Cut the rest of the cake into 2 or 3 parts horizontally. Spread the frosting onto the layers. Make sure the cake is not hot, otherwise the frosting may melt.
- Cover the top and the sides of the cake with frosting. Cover the whole cake with the crumbs you prepared.
- Cover the cake and rest for 2-3 hours at room temperature. After that, you can place it in the fridge.
