How to Make Chocolate Cake with Raspberry Sauce

Chocolate Cake

  1. Step 1

    For the cake: Preheat oven to 325°. Grease a 9-inch cake pan and dust with cocoa powder.

  2. Step 2

    In a large bowl, beat the beans with a hand mixer until smooth. Add in 3 of the eggs, vanilla, salt and mix until smooth. Add coconut oil and honey and mix to combine. Add the remaining 2 eggs and mix.

  3. Step 3

    In separate bowl, sift together cocoa powder, baking powder and baking soda. Add the cocoa powder mixture to the egg mixture. Beat on high for approximately 1 minute, or until smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.

  4. Step 4

    Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until top is firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Turn out onto a cooling rack and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.

Raspberry Sauce
