Ingredients

• Cake:
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup xylitol *
• 1 tsp. vanilla paste
• 4 tbs coconut oil
• 1 1/2 cups almond meal
• 1/3 cup coconut flour
• 1 1/3 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 cup coconut milk
• 1 tbs coconut yoghurt or more milk
• 1/2 tsp. apple cider vinegar
• Chocolate Icing:
• 1/2 cup coconut oil
• 1/4 cup melted raw cacao butter or coconut oil if you don’t have cacao
• 1/2 cup raw cacao powder
• 3 tbs coconut milk
• 2 tbs agave or honey
• 1 tsp vanilla paste
• 1 1/2 cup dried coconut

Preparation

Step 1

Grease or line a 20x20cm baking dish and pre-heat oven to 180

Add eggs, xylitol and vanilla to a mixing bowl and whizz
with an electric beater until it becomes white, light and fluffy.

Add the dry ingredients and quickly mix them through with
the mixer then add the coconut milk, yoghurt and vinegar then mix through until
properly combined.

Pour into the baking dish and bake for 30-35 minutes or
until it springs back when gently pressed.

To make the
chocolate icing, mix the coconut oil, cacao, milk, liquid sweetener and vanilla
together so it's smooth.

Using a fork and
spoon gently roll the slice of cake in the chocolate spooning the mixture over
the top and side and then removing with the fork so that the excess chocolate
can drain away.

Roll the lamingtons
in the coconut, making sure to get all sides. Pat the coconut into the
chocolate icing then sprinkle more coconut- this will make handling the
lamingtons easier and avoid finger marks!

* I used xylitol not only because it's a healthy choice of sweetener (I always purchase the xylitol made from Birch so as to be sure its not make from GM corn) but also because it's light in colour being white and it helped to keep the cake white. If you don't have it or choose not to consume it then you could try coconut sugar, raw sugar or rapadura.
