Ingredients
Cake:
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup low carb sweetener I used 1/2 cup Pyure
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup coconut oil liquified
- 4 large eggs beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups zucchini shredded
- 1/2 cup sugar free chocolate chips optional
Pecan Coconut Frosting:
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 cup sweetener I used Swerve Confectioners Powder
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum optional
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
Directions
Cake:
- Stir together coconut flour, cocoa, sweetener, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
- Mix in eggs, coconut oil, and vanilla until well blended.
- Stir in zucchini and chocolate chips (if using).
- Pour mixture into greased pan (I used a 9×9).
- Bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Frosting:
- Combine almond milk, sweetener, egg yolk and butter in a saucepan.
- Heat over medium heat. When bubbles form, sprinkle in xanthan gum.
- Continue heating until thickened.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla, coconut and pecans.
- Spread mixture over cooled cake.
Note
- Each slice has about 6 grams net carbs!
- There’s no need to squeeze out the moisture in the shredded zucchini. The extra liquid is needed to keep the coconut flour cake from being too dry.
- Pecan halves or toasted coconut can be used as garnish over the frosting if desired.
