I’m not a huge fan of loading up on carbs every day, I’m not carb-phobic or anything like that, I just prefer to have a reefed meal once every 5-7 days. I stay leaner and I’m more focused throughout the work week. One of my favorite re-feeds is a home-made chocolate cake – I love chocolate and I love to cook so it makes sense.

For anyone that loves a rich chocolate cake with only ‘clean’ ingredients then give this a try – I promise you will not be disappointed!!

Ultimate Chocolate Cake

Ingredients

• 6 room temperature eggs
• ½ cup honey
• ½ cup raw cacao powder
• 1 tsp vanilla essence
• 3/4 cup organic, unsalted butter

Directions

• Heat butter in a saucepan and add in honey, stirring until combined.
• Add remaining ingredients into a food process and quickly add in the butter and honey mixture and combine immediately on high for 3-4 minutes. The mixture will be very thin and have small bubbles.
• Pour into a cake tin coated in coconut oil and bake for 40 minutes.
• Once cool, top with icing and enjoy!
