- 1 cup almond flour
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons coconut palm sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon pure stevia extract powder
- ¼ cup unsweetened canned coconut milk (just the thick part on top, if separated)
- 3 Medjool dates, pitted
- ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
- ¼ cup coconut oil, melted, plus more for greasing the pan
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup unsweetened canned coconut milk (just use the thick cream on top) or organic/grass-fed heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cacao powder (or cocoa powder)
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch spring-form pan with coconut oil. Alternatively, line a muffin pan with paper liners (makes about 7 cupcakes).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, coconut palm sugar and stevia. Set aside.
- Add coconut milk to the blender. Add the dates, applesauce, and melted coconut oil. Blend on high until the dates are well incorporated and there are no longer any chunks.
- Add the vanilla and eggs and pulse until both are fully incorporated.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir until well combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes.
- Let cool in the pan before topping.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the coconut cream on medium speed until fluffy.
- Add the cacao powder, maple syrup, and vanilla. Continue to whip until thick like whipped cream.
- Spread the topping over the cake just before serving.
