The Christmas spirit has long been present at Bio store ZELEN, and today we will dedicate an unconventional festive recipe to it. It combines a soft cocoa taste, a snowy coconut topping, and a fresh citrus finish.

Ingredients for Gluten-Free Coconut Cake with a Christmas Scent:

¼ cup melted coconut oil
4 eggs
2 ripe bananas
¼ cup coconut milk
6 tbsp coconut sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp cocoa
½ cup coconut flour
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt

Glaze:
½ cup melted coconut oil
2 tsp honey
1 tsp shredded coconut
½ tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Tangerine for decoration

Method of preparation for Gluten-Free Coconut Cake with a Christmas Scent:

Mash the bananas and mix them with all the liquid components, except the oil. In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients and add them to the liquid ones. Finally, add the coconut oil and stir until smooth and homogenous.

Pour the mixture into a baking dish greased with coconut oil. Bake the cake for 35-40 minutes in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius. Check if it's done by piercing it with a toothpick. If it comes out dry, the cake is ready!

For the glaze, mix all ingredients in a bowl and let the mixture cool in the freezer. Check its condition frequently to remove it when it starts to whiten. Begin to whisk the glaze, thereby incorporating air into it and making it the consistency of whipped butter. Spread the готовия mixture over the well-cooled cake.

Finish the dessert with peeled pieces of the most Christmassy fruit - fragrant tangerine, and enjoy it with your loved ones during the upcoming bright holidays.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New 2018 from the Zelen team! P.S. We secretly share with you that this cake is even tastier if you eat it in combination with Yogi Tea Choco tea 🙂
