  • Lastly, add the coconut flour and blend for a further minute.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared cake pan.
  • Bake for 50 - 65 minutes. It will go very dark - this is normal! It gives the outside a delicious, slightly bitter taste. The middle should remain a little jiggly but the outer edges will look firm and set.

  • Let cool in the tin before refrigerating until completely cool and set. It is also amazing eaten slightly still warm before you refrigerate it, although it will be a little wobblier!
