Instructions
  1. 1
    For the Icing
  2. 2
    Pour the coconut milk into a blender. Add all the remaining ingredients and blend well. Transfer the icing to the refrigerator, where it will thicken and set as hard as butter (might take a few hours).

    For the Cake
  4. 4
    Preheat the over to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat two 9-inch square baking pans with coconut oil spray,
  5. 5

    Put the flour, flax meal, cocoa, TH Super Sweet Blend, and baking powder and soda in a large mixing bowl and whisk together.

  6. 6
    Blend the eggs, coconut oil, coconut milk, and vanilla in a blender, then add to the mixing bowl.
  7. 7
    Combine all ingredients well, then let the batter sit for 5 minutes.
  8. 8
    Divide the batter between the prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes. Let the cake layers cool, then remove them from the pans and place one cake on a stand or large plate.
  9. 9
    Allow the icing to soften a little at room temperature so it becomes spreadable. Spread a thick layer on one of the cakes, then top with the other cake. If there's enough icing left, you can put a thin layer on the sides and top of the cake.
