Clean Plant Based Chocolate Skillet Cake

I love making birthday cakes. It’s just one of those things. For our little Birds first birthday I made this refined sugar free, gluten free, plant based chocolate “dirt” cake. There is a secret ingredient in the frosting and it is soooo good!

Cake Ingredients:

• 2 c oat flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 c unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3/4 c pure maple syrup
• 3/4 c applesauce
• 1 1/4 c full fat coconut milk
• 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1/3 c dark chocolate hunks (optional)

Method: I am all about simplicity.

• Mix it all together in one bowl. Easy peasy. 
• Oil skillet and sprinkle with a hand full of oats to prevent sticking. 
• Bake at 350’ for 22-25 minutes.

Frosting:

• 1 c cooked sweet potato (halved and roasted until soft)
• 1/2 c peanut butter
• 3/4 c pitted dates
• 1/4 c full fat coconut milk
• 1/2 c cocoa powder
• 1/4 tsp sea salt

Method:

• Blend in high powered blender until smooth.
• Once cake is fully cooled spread this deliciousness on. 
• Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• If your baby happens to be named Bird too it with the cutest bird candle ♡
