Ingredients
- ½ cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 6 tablespoons butter
- ½ cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
- ¾ cup sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 large eggs at room temperature
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8 ½ x 4 ½-inch loaf pan. Line with a strip of parchment if desired and dust with cocoa powder.
- Thoroughly whisk together the coconut flour and baking powder.
- In a large, microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter with the cocoa, stirring until well blended.
- Whisk the sugar, salt, vanilla, and eggs into the butter-cocoa mixture. Add the coconut flour and baking powder, whisking until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and let it rest for exactly 10 minutes.
- Bake until set, and a cake tester inserted into the middle comes out clean. Mine took exactly 35 minutes.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 30 minutes before turning it out onto a rack to cool completely. Let cake cool completely before slicing. Note: I let mine cool completely in the pan and didn't have any issues.
