Paleo Chocolate Cake

Ok so last night, I just couldn't take it! I needed my "sugar" fix.  So I tried to find something that I had all the ingredients for since paleo uses some different ingredients that will sometimes be more costly or harder to find in podunk illinois : (  Anyway, so I found this and said, Let's go for it!  I made this just a bit differently than the recipe itself and I have to say it was quite delicious!!  I used a 9x13 pan and I ate like 1/4 of it....oops  Great news though!! I didn't feel like a big pile of crap after eating it!  that's probably why i kept going back!  My stomach wasn't bogged down and I didn't have that shame that usually comes with me having sweets.  It was great!!!  It wasn't super sweet since it doesn't use sugar, but it was sweet enough to give me my fix.  So in love with this paleo right now!  From the results I've seen in my body and now with this dessert recipe, I am feeling great about the decision to try this!  Anyway, without any more delay here is the recipe I found(with a little tweaking I did)

Paleo Chocolate Cake

Ingredients:

• 1 cup chocolate chips (I used vegan carob chips...which don't melt well, they clump and crust up, but I just removed all the clump and used whatever melted into the oil which was great because it lowered the chocolate content and still turned out great!  Dark chocolate chips are also a great healthy alternative!)
• 1/2 cup coconut oil
• 6 eggs
• 1/2 cup raw honey
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 1/4 cup coconut milk
• 1/2 cup coconut flour
• 1/4 cup cocoa
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Over low heat, melt the chocolate chips in coconut oil.
3. Allow this chocolate mixture to come to room temperature. (i cheated and stuck it in the freezer for a few minutes)
4. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, honey, vanilla, apple cider vinegar, and coconut milk.
5. Add cooled chocolate mixture to the egg mixture.
6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt.
7. Add the coconut flour mixture to the egg mixture. Whisk together until the lumps are pretty well worked out.
8. Add to a well-greased 9×13 pan
9. Bake for 15 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

The original recipe says to use a 9x9 pan and cook for 30 minutes but I just set a timer for 15 minutes because I figured, bigger pan, and 30 minutes is forever and I didn't want to burn it.  When it doubt, set a lower time limit.  I'd rather have to check it more often and get it perfect than ruin it!  It's so great, ENJOY!!!!
