Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup coconut flour
  • 8 eggs
  • 2/3 cups coconut oil melted
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1 cup unsweetened apple sauce
  • 1 cup dates soaked in hot water
  • 1/3 cup date water

Icing

  • 1 can full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 cup coconut butter

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Place parchment paper in the bottoms of two 8 " circular cake pans. Rub coconut oil on the sides of the pans to prevent sticking.
  • In a mixer, combine coconut flour to sea salt together.
  • Place dates in a bowl and cover with hot water for 5 minutes to soften them up. Keep the water for later.
  • Once soft, remove them from the water and add them to a highspeed blender along with the apple sauce.
  • Once the sauce is smooth, add it to the mixer along with 1/3 cup of the date water.
  • Pour the batter into two 8" cake pans. Place in the oven for 25-30 minutes. If you are making cupcakes, they will take less time, approx. 20 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool.

Icing

  • Place coconut milk in the fridge for a few hours or overnight to help thicken.
  • Remove the contents from the can and place it into a mixer with coconut butter.
  • Whip until smooth.
  • You can add honey or maple syrup to the icing although I kept it unsweetened.
