Ingredients

This delicious gluten free coconut cake recipe is the perfect way to satisfy your sweet tooth without compromising on taste or texture. It’s easy to make and contains only a few simple ingredients. To make this cake, you will need:

2 cups gluten free all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup organic coconut oil, melted
1/2 cup organic coconut sugar
1/2 cup honey
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
3 large eggs
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk
1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease an 8-inch round cake pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, coconut sugar, honey, and vanilla extract. Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, until the mixture is light and fluffy. Slowly add in the flour mixture in three batches, alternating with the coconut milk, and stirring until just combined. Finally, fold in the shredded coconut.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, top with your favorite frosting, if desired.
