Preparation

Step 1

coconut flour cake:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Beat a dozen eggs, two cups coconut milk and up to three-quarters of a cup of honey together with vanilla, coconut and orange extracts until smooth, creamy and uniform in both color and texture.
Dump two cups coconut flour, a half-teaspoon baking soda and a quarter teaspoon unrefined sea salt into the mixture of eggs, honey and extracts, and continue to beat until a smooth batter forms.
Grease and flour two eight-inch cake tins.
Pour, or spoon, the cake batter into the greased and floured tins, shaking them to even out the batter and smoothing it with the back of a spoon or with a rubber spatula.
Bake in an oven preheated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about forty minutes, or until the cake separates from the sides of the tin and a toothpick inserted into the cake’s center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool completely before removing from the tin and frosting with the coconut frosting below.

coconut frosting:

Beat all ingredients together until thoroughly combined.
Refrigerate the frosting for five to ten minutes so that it stiffens a bit.
Remove from the refrigerator, beat for about one minute. Frost your cake.
