So in honor of team USA winning the America's cup I thought about doing a Primarily Primal on the go sailing edition and talk about what I ate on the Mac Race. But then I realized most people probably don't need to bring food for three days on a sailboat without refrigeration. But most people do love chocolate cake. So I'll post about chocolate cake instead.
I really feel as though I should have a better story to start this post with, I guess my life is uneventful. Ooo...here's an event: I saw Ke$ha last night and I still have glitter on me (yes I've tried washing it off). I didn't even apply any glitter to myself! That stuff spreads remarkably easily for something that is remarkably difficult to remove.
I got a loaf pan on Friday so I won't have to divvy everything up into muffins. Although muffins are good for freezing they're so tedious to make. To celebrate my new loaf pan I decided to make something yesterday and this is what I ended up with. I'm not totally sure if it's a cake or a bread...or both. I think if you really wanted it to be a cake you'd need to add 1/4-1/3 c maple syrup, otherwise it's closer to bread, until you add the frosting.
Ingredients
- 2 bananas (any ripeness)
- 1/4 c coconut oil
- 1/2 c nut butter (I wanted to use coconut butter cause I thought for sure I had some, but I couldn't find any in my apartment so I used almond butter then today I found the coconut butter, sigh)
- 1/2 c flour (I did half coconut and half almond)
- 1/4 c full fat coconut milk
- 1/3 c cacao powder
- Chocolate chips (I used a bar of Ghirardelli 100% cocoa, use whatever you like)
- Shredded coconut
- 1/4c-1/3c maple syrup (optional)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400
- Mix bananas, cacao powder, coconut oil and nut butter together in your handy dandy food processor (and maple syrup)
- Add flour, coconut milk, and cacao powder and mix again
- Fold in chocolate chips and coconut
- Grease your loaf pan (which you're so excited to have) and pour in batter
- Cook for about 20 minutes until a knife in the middle comes out clean (just don't hit a chocolate chip like I did the first time...it won't come out clean then)
- While you let it cool make frosting! I used Tammy Credicotts recipe out of Paleo Indulgences (I found you all a copy of the recipe) I just added 2.5 T of cacao and cut the maple syrup to 1/6 c.
- Top cake with frosting, cut, and enjoy
