Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
• 0.5 cup chopped almonds
• 0.5 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, almond milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring with a spatula or whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.

Step 5

Fold in the shredded coconut, chopped almonds, and chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar, or decorate with additional shredded coconut and almond slices if desired. Slice and serve!
