Chocolate Cake

Ingredients

¼ cup organic coconut oil         

1 cup raw unfiltered honey

2 pasture-raised organic eggs

1 cup cashew milk (see Note)

2 tsp. vanilla extract (you can make your own, see other recipe)

1 ¾ cup organic sprouted spelt flour (See Note)

¾ cup organic cacao powder

2 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. sea salt (See Note)

1 cup very hot or boiling water

1.  Preheat oven to 275 degrees F. Combine coconut oil, honey, and vanilla extract in a mixer with the whip attachment. Whip until well combined. Add cashew milk and mix briefly until almost combined. Add eggs and mix well.

2.  In a small bowl, add the flour, cacao powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until thoroughly combined. Change to paddle attachment. Pour the flour mixture over the liquid mixture and mix on low speed until well combined. Do not overmix.

3.  Pour the boiling water over the batter and mix well. Line a 9-by-13-inch pan with unbleached parchment paper, like from the brand ‘If You Care.’ Pour the batter into the pan. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with a few crumbs sticking to it. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.

Makes one 9 x 13 inch pan

Notes

To make cashew milk, combine ¾ cup filtered water and ¼ cup organic cashews in a blender. Blend for 1-2 minutes. It should be foamy and white with minimal cashew fragments. The Nutribullet does a good job. There is no need to strain the milk.

Refined white salt contains anticaking agents like aluminum and is bleached and stripped of all healthy minerals. Use fine gray sea salt or fine pink Himalayan salt.

To use a healthy flour, freshly mill organic spelt berries fresh so all the germ and bran is intact. The germ contains the B vitamins that a person needs to support basic life functions. Store bought processed flour doesn’t contain the germ because it makes the flour perishable and need refrigeration. You can buy flour freshly milled flour, without sifting, from Breadtopia.com, and then store it in the freezer. See article What’s a Healing Bread about resources for spelt berries and grain mills. Extra flour will stay fresh in the freezer. Denatured flour from the supermarket causes all degenerative diseases and tooth decay.

It is much healthier to eat a cake where the flour was fermented, as in the kokosh recipe. The freshly milled flour has very important vitamins. Eating flour products that weren’t fermented slows digestion because the unfermented flour becomes paste-like in the gut. The healthiest way to to make this cake is to buy sprouted spelt berries or to sprout (and dehydrate) spelt berries before milling it into flour. If the flour isn’t being fermented in the recipe, then it is best for the flour to be from sprouted grain.
