1-How to Prepare the Perfect Paleo Honey Chocolate Cake: Step-by-Step Guide: Okay, you guys, getting this Paleo Honey Chocolate Cake just right is easier than you think let’s walk through it step by step! Start by preheating your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC) and greasing your pans, which sets the stage for even baking. In a bowl, sift together the almond flour, coconut flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and sea salt to mix the dry ingredients thoroughly. I always sift mine for that extra fluffy result it makes a big difference!
2-Next, in another bowl, whisk the almond milk, honey, eggs, and vanilla extract until everything is nicely combined for the wet mixture. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ones gently until you get a smooth batter don’t overmix, or you’ll lose that light texture. Prepare your baking pans by greasing six 3-inch cake rings for mini cakes or lining an 8×8 inch square pan or 8-inch round pan with parchment paper. Fill the pans with batter and bake the mini cakes for 20-30 minutes, lowering the temperature if the edges brown too fast, or bake a larger cake for about 40 minutes, covering with foil if needed.
3-To check if it’s done, gently press the top it should spring back, or use a toothpick to see if it comes out clean with just moist crumbs. Let the cakes cool completely and refrigerate them for a few hours before slicing and filling. For the honey caramel sauce, combine honey, coconut butter, cashew butter, and vanilla in a saucepan, bring to a boil while whisking, then remove from heat and pour immediately as it thickens fast. For the ganache, heat the cream, pour over chocolate, let it sit, and stir gently until smooth avoid over-mixing to keep it bubble-free!
4-Assembly Steps 1. Slice the cooled cake horizontally in half. 2. Spread the honey caramel sauce evenly over the bottom layer. 3. Place the top layer on the caramel. 4. Pour the ganache over the top and let it set. 5. Optionally, drizzle extra honey and sprinkle salt flakes on top.
