Ingredients
 
 

For the cake:

  • ⅓ cup organic coconut oil
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ cups flour I used white spelt flour, but all-purpose flour would also work very well. A gluten free flour blend will also work.
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup cold water

For the frosting:

Instructions
 

Make the cake:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 inch cake pan with some coconut oil, then dust the pan with a little cocoa powder.
  • Place the coconut oil in a mixing bowl and microwave for about 30 seconds until melted.
  • Add the cocoa powder and sugar, and mix together.
  • Add the flour, baking soda, salt, water, and vinegar. Mix well until combined and smooth. You can use a mixer for this, or just do it by hand.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 26-28 minutes at 350 degrees F. When the top of the cake springs back when pressed with your finger, the cake is done. You can also stick a toothpick in the middle to see if it comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool for about 30 minutes before removing from the pan. You can turn it out over a plate to let it cool fully before frosting it.

Make the frosting:

  • Melt the coconut oil in the microwave and set it aside to cool for a few minutes.
  • Sift the powdered sugar and cocoa powder into a mixing bowl.
  • Add the coconut oil and the water and mix on medium speed until the frosting is smooth and creamy. If the frosting is too thick, add a little more water.
  • Frost the cake and enjoy!

Notes

Nutrition facts are for ⅛ of the cake with frosting.
This cake does not need to be refrigerated.
If you want to use a different oil, you can! Canola oil or vegetable oil should work. Any neutral tasting oil that you like to bake with should be just fine.
