Steps for Coconut Cake with Chocolate
For this recipe, you can use electric beaters or a stand mixer.
Break the eggs into a bowl. Beat the eggs with the sugar until you get a light and fluffy mixture. Gradually add the oil and then the coconut milk. Mix to combine these ingredients.
Add the sifted all-purpose flour, baking powder, coconut flour, grated lemon zest, and a pinch of salt. Continue to beat with the electric beaters.
Once all ingredients are well combined, add the chocolate. You can use chocolate chips; if you don’t have them, use a chocolate bar. Take the necessary amount and, with a knife, chop it and add it to the mixture.
Pour the batter into a 9-inch springform pan lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated static oven at 320°F for about 50 minutes. After the baking time, perform the toothpick test to check if it’s cooked.
Once cooked and cooled, you can decorate the cake with powdered sugar or, to make it even more delicious, you can melt some honey or jam of your choice in a small pot and cover it with shredded coconut. Your dessert is ready to be enjoyed!
