Frosted Fudgy Brownie Cake

Kayla Castle • November 2, 2021

Brownies are my fav and baking into a cake took it up a new notch. These brownies are gluten-free, dairy-free and refined sugar free. I used coconut-based frosting that I found in the organic aisle in the grocery store. For Halloween I used spooky themed sprinkles. This can easily be switched for any holiday or birthday or skip the sprinkles all together. 

Recipe


Ingredients: 

·      1 cup chocolate chips, I used DF

·      1/3 cup melted plant sterol 

·      1 cup coconut sugar

·      2 large eggs

·      1 ¼ cup oat flour

·      2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

·      1 teaspoon baking powder

·      ½ teaspoon salt

·      Optional: Vanilla frosting, sprinkles


Method: 

1.)   Preheat oven to 350F and spray a 9’ cake pan with baking spray. 

2.)   In a pot over low heat melt the chocolate chips and plant sterol, till smooth. Make sure to stir frequently so the chocolate doesn’t burn. Remove from heat. 

3.)   In a medium size bowl add the oat flour, unsweetened cocoa, baking powder and salt.

4.)   Create a well in center, add the melted chocolate/plant sterol mixture. Followed by the eggs. Mix well till batter thoroughly mixed. 

5.)   Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes, till tester comes out clean. 

6.)   Let brownies cool, when cooled ice with frosting and sprinkles if desired.

You know when you eat something sweet and then later in the day you start feeling sluggish and tired? That sugar crash feeling is from a sharp rise in blood sugar levels followed by a decline. Having consistent blood sugar levels provides us with a consistent energy boost. By structuring our meals in a balanced pattern, you will be less likely to experience a “sugar crash”.
