Preheat oven 350° Prep Time: 20 minutes Cook Time: 55 minutes 10-12 cup Bundt pan Ingredients for cake: 1 3/4 cups Beth Blend Grain Free Blend Flour 1 cup Cacao Powder ½ tsp baking powder ¾ tsp salt 2 tsp vanilla extract 2 eggs, room temp 1 ½ cups coconut sugar ¼ cup monk fruit sweetener 1 ½ cup coconut milk, unsweet ½ cup avocado oil ½ cup strawberry puree (blitz fresh strawberries in food processor) Ingredients for Topping: 3 ounces 55% (or higher) dark chocolate 2 tsp Ghee 2 cup monk fruit sweetener powdered sugar 1 Tbsp Ghee (use coconut oil for dairy-free) 10 strawberries 3 Tbsp coconut milk, chilled Directions: 1. Grease the bundt pan with avocado oil and lightly dust with monk fruit powdered sugar. Gently tap out the excess flour from the pans and discard. 2. In a medium bowl, sift the dry ingredients, mix well, and set aside. 3. In mixing bowl cream together the sugar, oil, and vanilla. 4. Next add strawberry puree and eggs, then mix. 5. Add the eggs, then mix. 6. Add the dry ingredients ¼ of the mixture at a time while alternating with the coconut milk until well mixed. ***Making sure to scrape the sides of the mixing bowl. Mix until silky smooth. 7. Place the batter into the bundt pan. Lightly tap the pan on the counter to remove any bubbles. 8. Place into the preheated oven and bake for 55 minutes. You can do the toothpick test at 50 minutes, but I found mine to be perfect at 55 minutes. 9. Allow to cool before glazing the top. Directions for topping: 1. Place dark chocolate and 2 tsp ghee in microwave in 15 second increments mixing in between until smooth and completely melted. 2. Drizzle on top of the cooled cake. 3. In another microwaveable bowl add the monk fruit powder sugar, coconut milk, and 1 Tbsp ghee. 4. Beat (by hand or hand mixer) until smooth. 5. Drizzle on top of the cooled cake. 6. Decorate the cake with strawberries on top. You can slice the strawberries and make a pretty pattern on top of the cake or serve each slice with sliced strawberries on the side.
