Chocolate-Mint Cake - Coconut Flour

Bad weather seems to be directly linked to my appetite for all things sweet and chocolatey. Raining? Chocolate cupcakes. Snowing? Warm Chocolate anything. I swear, I am completely helpless. Right now, we are experiencing heavy rainfalls. The day is grey and sopping wet. I like to stay in and just chill out on days like this with indulgent goodies and either a good read or a movie. I am currently reading The Edible Woman ( how fitting) by Margaret Atwood. My mini convection oven is baking a new creation consisting of coconut flour, mint and chocolate. All the things I love! Okay, here's the recipe:

Chocolate-Mint Cake/Cupcake Recipe

1/2 Coconut Flour

3 Eggs

1/3 Cup of Milk

3 Tablespoon Brown Sugar

3 HEAPING Tablespoon of Coco 

1/4 Tablespoon of Baking Soda

1/4 Tablespoon of Cinnamon 

1/2 Teaspoon of Peppermint Extract **

I did not have Mint extract in the house so I subbed it with brewed mint tea (steeping it for a few minutes in 1/5 cup of hot water) , let it cool before adding to batter. 

Mix all dry ingredients then add the wet ingredients. Bake for 20 minutes at 375 degrees. Eat! 

--> if the batter is too wet, then the consistency of the cake will be very soft - closer to a chocolate mousse. Presentation may look off but it is still damn tasty! To remedy this, jus reduce the liquids or add more flour. 

The End 

Chocolate Tears

So here I am sitting in my room with my books open for a hardcore study session. Rather than studying for my upcoming exam, I am sitting here pigging out on chocolate and updating this blog! *Sigh* Procrastination is a pain in the butt.

Reading week begins end of next week so hopefully I'll be able to update this blog with an actual recipe!

Ciao and enjoy the freezing cold and evil ice that has descended on the GTA.

P.S. Ughh, going to put away the chocolate and try out the Starbucks vanilla tea sample I received!
