Menstrual Phase Chocolate Cake
$19
3 eggs
8 softened medjool dates
1/3 cup decaf coffee
2 tbs oil (I used olive oil)
1 tsp vanilla
Blend together until smooth, pour into a bowl. Add dry ingredients:
1/2 cup chestnut flour (it’s important to always sift chestnut flour!)
1/3 cup cocoa
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
Mix well with a whisk and pour into greased and floured 8 inch round cake pan. Bake at 325 until a clean toothpick comes out of the center, about 25 mins. I doubled this recipe to make two layers, spread macerated blackberries (also a menstrual phase food!) in the center and topped with an easy chocolate cheesecake ganache:
1/2 cup full fat Greek yogurt
3-4 tbs maple syrup
3 tbs cocoa
Pinch of salt
Mix cocoa and maple syrup until a paste forms, stir into yogurt and spread on cake.If you're interested in more recipes like this, check out my book!
