Foolproof paleo coconut cake with Stevia

 

This has been my favourite go to recipe for several month now. I made many different variations all of which have been yummy. If you are new to baking or new to baking without sugar this is a brilliant cake to get started on.

It is foolproof really, you can’t get it wrong unless you burn it in the oven.

Tip:

• the cake will keep several days in the fridge
• for freezing cut them into pieces, separate with greaseproof paper and defrost as required
• can be covered in chocolate
• use juice or other flavoured liquid instead of coconut milk
• use batter in cup cake forms for portioned snacks

 

Show me your cake when it is done.
