Gluten Free Coconut Flour Orange Cake with Coconut Oil Frosting Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by Jackie618

Number Of Ingredients 16

FROSTING:
1/4 cup coconut oil
6 eggs, room temperature
1/4 cup coconut milk
6 tablespoons raw honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon orange zest
1/2 cup coconut flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder (aluminum free)
1/2 teaspoon salt
Juice 1/2 medium orange
1/2 cup coconut oil, melted in a glass bowl
9 drops liquid stevia (alternatively, you could use a couple of teaspoons of raw honey
1 packed teaspoon orange zest
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Measure out coconut oil and place in an 8"x8" pan. Place the pan in the oven to melt the coconut oil. While the coconut oil is melting, whisk the eggs, coconut milk, honey, vanilla and orange zest together. Once the coconut oil is melted (probably around five minutes or less), remove the pan from the oven and let it cool while you mix in the rest of your ingredients. Combine coconut flour, baking powder and salt. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet. Once your pan is cooled enough to handle, carefully swirl your coconut oil around your pan in order to grease all sides. Then pour the coconut oil into the batter and mix until all lumps are gone. Pour the batter into your greased pan and place on the middle rack of the oven. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until browned on top and a toothpick comes out clean. Place the cake on a cooling rack. After the cake has cooled a bit, but is still warm, poke holes all over the top with a fork. Juice the orange half right over the whole cake, making sure to evenly distribute the juice. FROSTING: Mix all ingredients into warm coconut oil. You are now going to place the bowl into the freezer in order to cool it down. It is very important to check on it every couple of minutes to catch it before it gets too cold. You want to take it out of the freezer right when it starts to get cloudy. At this point the cold bowl (and your cool kitchen) will continue to turn the liquid oil into a solid. Continue to whisk the frosting as it gets cloudier and cloudier and eventually turns into a whipped butter consistency. The idea is to get a bit of air into it. Once it is to a whipped (very soft) butter consistency plop it onto your cooled cake. Frost it very quickly before the coconut oil hardens. It will seem like a pretty thin frosting, but it is just enough.

This cake is amazing! The coconut and orange flavors are a perfect combination, and the texture is so moist and fluffy. I will definitely be making this cake again.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cake didn't turn out at all. It was flat and dense, and the frosting was too runny. I'm going to try a different recipe next time.

This cake was a disappointment. The texture was dense and crumbly, and the flavor was bland. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

I'm not a huge fan of coconut, but I really enjoyed this cake. The orange flavor is strong enough to balance out the coconut flavor, and the cake is very moist and flavorful.

This cake is so easy to make, and it's a great way to use up leftover coconut milk. I also love that it's gluten-free, so I can enjoy it without feeling guilty.

I was skeptical about using coconut oil in the frosting, but it turned out to be amazing! It gives the frosting a light and fluffy texture that pairs perfectly with the orange flavor.
