We LOVE this cake for many many many reasons. One, it looks darn pretty, right? Two, we sweetened this baby with absolutely NOTHING! Y’all don’t need no sweetener, you’re sweet enough! Three, it’s a ridicuslously easy base cake that’s easy to change up with different flavours! If you want something chocolatey, then add some paleo chocolate, if you want a berry cake, add berries to the filling, if you want a kiwi cake, add some kiwis to the filling, if you want a peach vanilla cake… add peaches and vanilla.
You get the picture, right? Turn this no sweetener raw citrus coconut cake in to your craziest, wildest cake of your dreams!
Here’s to no sweetener raw citrus coconut cake! Boomshakalaka! Pow! Pow!
Always merrymaking,
Emma + Carla
