Ingrédients
- 1 cup beetroot puree (about 2 medium beetroots, roasted and blended)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 can full-fat coconut milk, refrigerated overnight (for frosting)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for frosting)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch cake pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together the beetroot puree, coconut sugar, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, coconut milk, and apple cider vinegar until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the dark chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the coconut cream frosting. Scoop out the solidified coconut cream from the refrigerated can of coconut milk, leaving any liquid behind.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the coconut cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
- Once the cake has cooled completely, spread the coconut cream frosting over the top. Slice and serve.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
