Ingredients

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 350°F.
  • Using a cooking spray, grease an 8-inch round cake pan and then place a piece of parchment paper on the bottom of the cake pan.
  • In a large bowl add all the dry ingredients and mix well to combine.
  • In a food processor or blender, add raspberries, coconut milk, coconut oil, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract. Pulse until all the ingredients are combine and the mixture is smooth.
  • Pour the raspberry mixture with the dry ingredients and mix well to combine.
  • Using a handheld or stand mixer whisk the two whole eggs (yolk and or white egg) until they are pale. It’s about 3 minutes.
  • Pour the eggs into the batter and gently mix to combine everything together.
  • Spread batter evenly into the prepared cake pan and bake for 20-25 minutes. The cake will be ready when it is golden brown and when a toothpick is inserted in the center and comes out clean. Do not over cook the cake because this cake should stay moist on the inside after cooled.
  • Before removing the cake from the pan, let the cake cool on a cooling rack for at least 20 minutes.
  • Top cake with the melted dark chocolate and raspberries.

Topping

    Stove method

    • In a heatproof bowl add chocolate chunks and coconut oil. Place this bowl over a pot of barely simmering water.
    • Stir until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
    • Remove from the heat and pour over the cake.

    Microwave method 

    • In a microwave-safe bowl add chocolate chunks and coconut oil.
    • Heat it at 50% power for 1 minute
    • Remove from the microwave and stir.
    • Return it to the microwave and repeat, stopping to stir every 15-seconds until the chocolate is totally melted.

    Notes

    • Adapted from Living Healthy with Chocolate.
    • Do not overmix the batter. Stop mixing once the batter is combined, or you'll end up with a dense cake. 
    • When melting the chocolate, do not allow any moisture in the bowl or the chocolate will seize. 
    • To store: Tightly wrap up the cake and store it in the fridge for up to 5 days.
    • To freeze: Once the cake is cooled, skip adding the berries and tightly wrap the cake. Freeze for up to 3 months.
