It’s one of the best Paleo cakes I’ve ever made! This recipe is naturally sweetened with maple syrup, so there’s also a hint of maple flavor in this cake. It reminds me slightly of eating pancakes… in the best possible way. My kids can’t stop eating it!
Things You Should Know About Coconut Flour
Coconut flour is a tricky ingredient, so be sure to follow this recipe closely for the best results. I had to test over 20 variations of this cake to get the texture and flavor right, so experiment at your own risk.
Frosting Ideas
This cake is topped with my Sweet Potato Frosting, made with white sweet potatoes, to keep the “vanilla” look. But here are some other naturally-sweetened frostings to try!
Date-Sweetened Vegan Frosting 2-Ingredient Chocolate Ganache (one of my favorites!) Vegan “Cream Cheese” Frosting
How to Make Cupcakes
Want to bake this recipe in a cupcake tin instead? This recipe will make 8 cupcakes, as written, and they will need to bake for 20 minutes. I use a 1/4 cup measure to scoop the batter into the cupcake liners, FYI. Don’t be tempted to skip the cupcake liners– they will guarantee that the cupcakes will easily release from the pan! Coconut flour is “stickier” than most flours, so don’t rely on greasing the pan alone.
