Every once in a while, I come across a recipe on a blog that I know I must try. And must try soon.
Heidi’s recipe for a cherry ripe coconut fudge cake was one such recipe.
So as soon as I had an occasion to share a baked treat (which was a family dinner we hosted over the weekend), I knew this cake had to make an appearance.
And boy was a delightful cake it turned out to be.
There were so many things I loved about this cake.
I loved that it used coconut flour, making it gluten fee.
I loved that it favoured honey as a sweetener, instead of sugar, making the flavour of the bitter dark chocolate shine through.
I loved that the ‘icing’ was made with greek yoghurt – something I would never have thought of using.
And I loved how the cherry jam added just the right amount of fruity sweetness.
My only comment is that this cake is rich in fudgey goodness So rich, in fact, that you will only need a small slice to satisfy even the strongest of chocolate cravings.
A delightful end to a lovely dinner party indeed.
You can find the recipe here.
What about you? Have you ever cooked with coconut flour?



Cherry-coconut-fudge, an interesting combination!
ReplyDeleteThis looks lovely :) I have found icing made with yoghurt to be really enjoyable so can see how that would work well, especially on top of a rich cake base. My coconut flour experiments have been a bit hit and miss to date, so this may be a more reliable option to try out!
ReplyDeleteI love this so much! Always so lovely to see people making your recipes and enjoying them! & yes, it is so so rich :) How delicious does coconut flour smell?!!?!

I'm eating a pumpkin-coconut flour-almond-milk-stevia pudding right now, teehee! Oh how I love Heidi and her creativity :)
ReplyDeleteThis sure does look amazing Lisa! Coconut flour is a great ingredient isn't it? I just need to remember it likes too soak up lots of moisture when I use it though :)
ReplyDeleteMy dad is a cherry ripe lover so I know next time my folks visit this will definately be on the menu!
