Serves 8-10 Slice

Ingredients

  • ¾ Cups
    spelt flour
  • ½ Teaspoons
    teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ Teaspoons
    salt
  • 1 Teaspoon
    baking powder
  • ¼ Cups
    unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 Tablespoons
    ground flaxseed
  • ½ Cups
    coconut sugar
  • ¾ Cups
    dark chocolate chips (very important)
  • 1 Tablespoon
    pure vanilla extract
  • loosely-packed cups frozen cauliflower, thawed completely and brought to room temperature. The cauliflower is raw, not cooked. (NOTE: Chocolate Covered Katie says she tried subbing the cauliflower for 1 cup of cooked pumpkin if the cauliflower is too weird)
  • ½ Cups
    almond milk
  • 3 Tablespoons
    coconut oil
  • ½ Cups
    Chocolate Peanut Butter Frosting (below)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

  2. Grease a 9” round baking pan (preferably with a removable bottom). Chocolate Covered Katie used a 8×8 square baking dish.

  3. Combine dry ingredients in a bowl, and mix well.

  4. Combine all liquid ingredients and the cauliflower in a food processor and blend until super-smooth, so there are NO lumps whatsoever.

  5. Pour wet into dry, and mix until just combined, then pour into prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes.

  6. Let cool completely before frosting. Serve and enjoy. If there are any leftovers, be sure to keep it in the refrigerator. (NOTE: I noticed that the cauliflower flavor wasn’t noticeable the same day my sister baked it, BUT the next day leftovers did have a hint of a cauliflower node).
