Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup coconut yogurt
  • ¼ cup coconut sugar (use ⅓ cup if you prefer it sweeter)
  • ¼ cup date syrup (or another natural sweetener)
  • ⅓ cup cacao powder
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • A pinch of salt (optional)

Method

Whisk the wet ingredients together. Add the dry ingredients and fold in gently with a spatula. Bake at 180 °C for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool — store in the fridge. Tip: a small square tin gives a thicker cake. Enjoy!
