Coconut Mud Cake

4x cups desiccated coconut
1 1/2 cups coconut milk - full fat
1x teaspoon vanilla extract - pinch of salt
6x eggs
2/3 cup coconut flour
1/4 cup of Natvia (erythritol and stevia blend: you can replace with 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of your preferred sweetener, depending on your sweet tooth)

Oven 175 - Grease and line a spring form pan.
Place coconut into a food processor and blend until it forms a thick paste - (takes a while) add a little coconut milk if it struggles to form paste.
Once thick, add everything else and blend. It will be VERY thick.
Spoon in to pan , smoothing the top (I used my hands to press it in) and shake container on bench to get out any air pockets.
Bake about 40 - 45 mins or when a skewer comes out clean.
Once cool , ice with butter/cream cheese icing.

Thanks Chris, I want to try this. It looks really good.

No sweetener? That's a plus!

I wonder how it would go with a little cocoa?

Actually it did have sweetener ! SHERRIE can you edited it and add that recipe had half a cup but I added 1/4 cup of Natvia (stevia)
Whoops

I found coconut flour today. Checked the ingredients and it's 59% carbs. So I didn't buy it, and got some chili con quesa and ajvar instead.

I couldn't really understand why it's so much higher in carbs than desiccated coconut.

A quick check on the internet tells me that it isn't as bad as it sounds, that most of those carbs are fibre and that there is only 21% net carbs.

And because coconut flour absorbs a lot of water.... a little goes a long way. A third of a cup of coconut flour (or less) is equivalent to one cup of all-purpose flour.

So I'll buy that flour next time I'm in that shop.

Oooh I am going to have to try this. I have a heap of limes off my tree at the moment. Maybe some grated rind and juice would be a nice tweak on this and create some space in my fridge.

I wonder what the ca4b count is in this???

I made this, I wasn't a huge fan though.

I think I ended up having it with sugar-free maple syrup. Then it was good.

I’ve not attempted it yet @Big bill but I’ve bought the ingredients so maybe over the school holidays I might.
