Having 2 birthday parties means having two types of cakes! Both gluten free, both without refined sugar! So me being me, I just bastardised one recipe to make the other! This one is Almond Chocolate, a similar base recipe with a few more additions to it, this cake is moist and fluffy, I think it could do with a little more density of flavour to it, so you could add real chocolate chips into the batter or just more cocoa powder to it as it was slightly overpowering with egg flavour, but it was still good. I topped the cake by melting dark chocolate chips on the top and smoothing it over, yes it has a bit of sugar in it but made a massive difference. you could make a ganache cream or fill the cake as a sandwich, any of these would really lift it even more.

You will need:

2 cups almond meal
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1 1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup coconut oil melted
4 eggs
3/4 cup Coconut Sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2/3 cup water

stir together almond meal, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. Beat in a separate bowl the eggs with whisk or electric mixer. Add water and mix well. Add butter and mix again. Add vanilla and sweetener and mix again. Add dry ingredients to egg mixture. Stir/mix until thoroughly blended. Pour batter into pan and bake at 350 degrees for 25-35 min. Let top of cake get completely cool to the touch before cutting or removing it from the pan.
