I have a sweet tooth. I try to combat it, and for the most part I am able to, but on occasion I need something sweet.
In the past I have been known as a cake connoisseur. I know my cake and the sweeter the better. So when Mike told me he was going to make a cake from scratch and it was going to be in line with my 21 Day Fix Approved lifestyle, guys I raised an eyebrow.
But I went with it, and I have to tell you…
It’s good.
Like…
REAL GOOD…
Because my philosophy is, when it’s your birthday, you always eat the cake! Might as well make it good!

February 2, 2017 at 3:41 pmThis cake tastes wonderful! I modified I little bit, since I did not have any almond flour ( I used spelt flour instead). I switched the butter for the dough for coconut oil. I added a handful raisins, a table spoon chia seeds, 4 dates (all prior processed with food processor) 2 table spoons cocoa powder and 1 scoop vegan chocolate protein powder to the dough. Thank you for this great recipe!
