This cake contains less sugar than most recipes and yet my husband, who normally tends to like things super sweet gave this cake a double thumbs up. Win win!
Its one of the first few times I’ve worked with Einkorn flour and I’m in love with it. Its a little tricky at first. I went thru a couple of batches to nail these down but totally worth it. I went to the store and picked up another bag. Its gonna be Einkorn all around for the next few weeks.

Whats so special about Einkorn? It has about 40% more protein than regular wheat. Bonus. And its packed with more vitamins and minerals than traditional wheat as well. Its higher in EFAs, potassium, phosphorus and B6. Plus its a bit easier to digest so you won’t get so gassy after eating. Those around you will rejoice.
I dollup’d on a little bit of coconut whip cream for good measure and a dusting of dark cocoa powder. (Fancy fancy) Honestly though, you could just nosh on this cake as is and its delicious.
