Ingredients
- 3 cups almond flour (I use a combination of tiger nut flour and almond flour)
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 3/4 cup raw cacao powder
- 1/2 cup xylitol from birch (*or sweetener of choice)
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 cup melted coconut oil
- 1/4 cup full fat coconut milk
- 3/4 cup almond milk (can substitute more coconut milk)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon raw honey (optional, but adds nice flavor)
- 3 pastured eggs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Line bottom and sides of 9 inch cake pan with parchment paper. (Or grease cake pan thoroughly.)
- In large bowl combine almond flour, coconut flour, raw cacao powder, xylitol, baking soda and sea salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix together coconut oil, eggs, coconut milk, almond milk, vanilla and raw honey if using.
- Blend wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Stir until batter is formed, but avoid over-mixing.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and bake approximately 50 minutes. If more baking is needed, cover the cake with parchment paper to avoid burning. (Lower the temperature to 325 degrees for added protection.) The cake is done when inserted toothpick comes out clean.

This looks delicious. We can t tolerate xylitol well so we would like to use monk fruit sweetener(powder) if possible. Do you think that would work and do you have any idea how much to use for this substitute? Thank you!
I don’t think you would need much. The sugar/xylitol is 1/2 cup. I would think less than 1/4 cup would work.
