Ingredients

  • 6 eggs
  • 1 cup coconut milk canned is best... lite or whole will work
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon orange extract
  • 1 cup coconut flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon sea salt

Optional Toppings

  • 1/4 cup strawberries sliced
  • 1/4 cup blackberries

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Grease a loaf dish or pan very thoroughly, lightly flour as well (I used coconut flour).
  • Beat eggs until smooth.
  • Add remaining liquid ingredients and mix.
  • Add dry ingredients and mix until smooth. Some people have problems with coconut flour clumping and claim they must sift it. I personally have not yet found this to be an issue and usually opt not to do this step.
  • Bake. The original recipe called for 45 minutes. I found mine actually took almost a full hour to cook through the middle. Just start checking around 45 minutes every few minutes. Insert a toothpick and when it comes out done, you’re golden…

For Berry Component:

  • Slice up strawberries into whatever size you like.
  • Puree some of them for a sauce.
  • Wash the blackberries.
  • Assemble your shortcakes in whatever way suits your palette. The cake is quite dense so I chose thin slices.
  • If you “do dairy” a little homemade whipped cream on this would be awesome.
  • The end result was quite tasty and the perfect bed for beautiful fresh berries and a little puree for the sauce.
