Decadent Dark Chocolate, Almond, & Coconut Cake

Rich dark chocolate, slivered almonds, and shredded coconut join forces to create a delicious dessert that is perfect for celebrating a special occasion. While you can certainly make the cake fancy and add icing and elaborate decorations, this version is simpler and more rustic, and uses only one cake pan.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • 8 Tbsp (1 stick) salted butter, melted
  • 2 whole eggs, whisked together in a bowl
  • 1 tsp almond extract
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • ¼ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2/3 cup slivered almonds
  • ½ cup sweetened coconut flakes
  • 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips
  • 2 Tbsp almond milk
  • Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with vegetable oil and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter and eggs. Add almond extract and milk and mix until combined.
  • Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  • Fold in semi-sweet chocolate chips, slivered almonds, and coconut flakes.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, vinegar, cocoa powder, dark chocolate chips, and almond milk.
  • Fold this mixture into the batter using a rubber spatula, and mix until the cocoa powder mixture is almost fully incorporated into the initial batter, but some streaks of the darker batter still remain.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake at 350F for roughly 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  • Allow to cool completely before slicing and serving.
  • Serve with scoops of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

This cake tastes great a few days after it is made. Just remember to store it covered with plastic wrap after it is baked and fully cooled.
