Chocolate Kefir Cake




Source of Recipe

List of Ingredients




1/2 cup premium cocoa powder (organic)
1/2 cup boiling water
2/3 cup virgin coconut or expeller pressed oil
1 3/4 cup Rapadura sugar
2 organic, free range eggs
2 1/4 cup organic, unbleached flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 1/3 cup Kefir, sour milk, yogurt or buttermilk
(To sour milk, just add 1 tbs and 1 tsp of white vinegar to your regular milk)

One batch of Chocolate Cream Frosting (recipe follows)



Recipe



Heat oven to 350 deg F. Grease the bottom and sides of two 9 inch round cake pans. Line bottoms of pans with parchment paper cut to fit, then grease it too. (I used Expeller Pressed Coconut oil). Or just grease a 9x13 if you want a sheet pan cake and do not wish to remove and make a 'stacked' cake.

In small bowl, stir cocoa powder and water until smooth, set aside.

In a seperate, small glass container mix up your 'Kefir milk', sour milk or buttermilk and set aside.

In medium bowl, mix flour, salt, soda and set aside.

In large bowl, cream together sugar, virgin or expeller pressed coconut oil and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. Add eggs and beat until incorporated. Start adding in the flour and the milk mixture, alternatingly and beat well after each addition. Pour batter into prepared pan(s). Bake 35 to 40 minutes. A toothpick inserted near the center should come out clean.

Cool 10 minutes and then invert layer cake pans onto cake racks, and remove cakes. Gently peel off the parchement paper and allow to cool completely. (If using a 9x13, just let cool in pan until you are ready to frost.)

One Bowl Chocolate Creamy Frosting

6 Tbs Virgin or Expeller Coconut Oil
2 2/3 cups organic (Hain) or (Rapadura) powdered sugar
1/2 cup premium organic chocolate cocoa powder
1/3 cup organic milk
1-2 tsp organic vanilla extract

In small bowl, beat oil (could use butter too). Add in powdered sugar and cocoa alternately with milk. Beat to spreading consistancy. Add in vanilla extract. Beat again. This makes about 2 cups frosting. It's basically a 'buttercream' frosting sans the butter....
