Nutella-Inspired Flourless Snacking Cake Cake Ingredients:3/4 cup avocado oil1 1/2 cups coconut sugar4 eggs1 cup coconut milk beverage (not canned coconut milk!) almond or regular milk work as well1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar1 tablespoon vanilla extract3 cups hazelnut meal3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder1/4 cup coconut flour2 teaspoons baking soda1/2 teaspoon pink saltFrosting:1 cup salted butter, room temperature1 cup powdered sugar1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder1 teaspoon vanilla extract2-3 tablespoons coconut milk beverageSprinkles, for decoratingDirections:Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 9x13 cake pan or a square 9x9 baking pan by lining with parchment paper across both the width and length of the pan. Spray the parchment paper with cooking spray or grease with butter and set aside.Take a large mixing bowl and add in avocado oil, coconut sugar, eggs, coconut milk or milk, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract. Whisk them together until well incorporated. Next, add in hazelnut meal. Measure out the cocoa powder over a mesh sieve or flour sifter, and sift into the mixture to ensure no lumps are in it.Sift the coconut flour into the bowl, then add in the baking soda and pink salt. Whisk everything together until it is well mixed and no lumps remain. Pour the mixture into the prepared cake pan and place in the oven. Bake the cake for 20 minutes if you are using a 9x13 cake pan. If you are using a 9x9 cake pan, increase the baking time by 10-15 minutes, checking the cake at 5 minute intervals after the 20 minute mark to check for doneness. Turn the cake once halfway through the baking time.While the cake is baking, you can make the frosting. Add in butter to a mixing bowl and whisk with a hand mixer or standing mixer for 1-2 minutes, until butter is light and fluffy. Add in powdered sugar and cocoa powder, using the mesh sieve or sifter if needed to remove any lumps from them. Keep mixing, adding in the vanilla extract and the coconut milk as needed. The frosting should be well mixed and fluffy. When the cake is done baking, let it cool for 5-10 minutes in the pan. Carefully remove it, lifting the parchment paper to get it out of the pan and place it on a wire rack. To speed up the cooling process, place the cake on the wire rack in the freezer for 15 minutes. It should be room temperature or cooler at that point.Frost the cake across the top and decorate with colorful sprinkles!The cake can remain on the counter for a day, then store in the refrigerator after that.
