The Best Paleo Chocolate Cake Ever

This recipe was born of a brownie craving. After perusing various paleo brownie recipes online, I decided to make up my own using a mix of what I had read. My trick was to swap out a few ingredients and add in protein powder to make it a healthier version, while still satisfying that chocolate craving. What I ended up with was a most moist, fluffy and amazing paleo chocolate cake — not brownies! WOW! This one is going to be made for every birthday cake in our house.  This recipe will make one 8×8″ cake. If you want to do a layer cake, I suggest doubling the recipe and using two round pans.

Ingredients: 

• 2 plantains
• 3 pastured eggs
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted (we use this kind)
• 1/4 cup raw honey (here is how to melt it)
• 1/3 cup chocolate protein powder (we use this kind, but you can also substitute hemp protein)*
• 2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1 cup chocolate chips, plus more for sprinkling and snacking (we use this kind because they are gluten, soy and dairy free)

*Note: if you want to omit the protein powder, then just use cocoa powder instead
Directions: 

• Preheat oven to 350*F
• In a food processor, combine everything but the chocolate chips and process until smooth

• Grease a glass baking dish, or brownie pan
• Add chocolate chips to the batter and stir until combined
• Pour into baking dish and sprinkle with more chocolate chips

Paleo Diet for Beginners is the ultimate book to learn and have the information to begin your journey to a better and fitter you. Included are over 25 recipes to get you started eating the Paleo way and burning fat.
This is a health journey where you are about to meet your Paleolithic Era Self, and you will learn how to keep him or her healthy. Many are claiming that they are burning the FAT and achieving weight loss. However, more important this journey is about improving the quality of your modern diet, your physical health, and the sustainable long term quality of your life.
Most of us, haven't even realized that we have a Paleolithic Era Self, let alone realized that we may need to actually nourish him or her with specific foods. While "nourishing your Paleolithic Era Self" is indicating a need for a change in our eating habits, it is more appropriate and a more accurate description of a very successful eating plan that many are embracing and enjoying.
It may be a coincidence that what many nutritionists label the “Standard American Diet” creates an acronym that spells out the word SAD. But it is an extremely accurate description of what we eat and how we eat in the western world. We need to take the time and study the transition from what our ancestors ate and what we eat today.
Perhaps looking thousands of years back for an answer to the problem we have created for ourselves seems a bit ridiculous to you. But once you learn how our prehistoric ancestors ate prior to the advent of modern agriculture, you will probably have a different opinion.

As you may well have figured out this new eating plan really is not new to us. It is quite probably the oldest diet. Think about it, our ancestors had to be fit and healthy. They walked for long distances in search of food, and they also walked in search of fruits, berries, and nuts. When food options dwindled in one location, they migrated to hopefully a better place. Today how far do you walk on a daily basis? Are you fit enough to walk for several miles to hunt your next meal? Most of us fall short in comparison to our ancestors in physical activity.
Many of us sit behind desks for most of the day, and then complain about having no energy when we come home as we sit in front of the big screen eating our processed, packaged foods, frozen pizzas, restaurant carry outs after a rough day at work. Not to mention the treats we think we deserve such as potato chips, corn chips, cheese puffs, bars and ice cream, and all the chemicals that have been added in.
They are convenient, but what a price we are paying for the convenience. The increasing incidence of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and obesity is but a small part. In addition to a growing rate of asthma, arthritis, and an increase in autoimmune diseases.
It may be a coincidence that what many nutritionists label the “Standard American Diet” creates an acronym that spells out the word SAD. But it is an extremely accurate description of what we eat and how we eat in the Western World. We need to take the time and study the transition from what our ancestors ate and what we eat today.
Perhaps looking thousands of years back for an answer to the problem we have created for ourselves seems a bit ridiculous to you. But once you learn how our prehistoric relatives ate prior to the advent of agriculture, you will probably have a different opinion.
The Paleo eating style is based on the theory that the genes we as modern humans have are actually the result of life conditions which formed many years ago in our evolution, before the advent of agriculture.

We will look at the hidden health dangers of the current diet of the western world. We will look at the ultimate consequences of consuming too many of these so called foods, and a growing list of degenerative diseases. We will look at what they ate before they discovered what they could make with wheat and other grain foods.
We'll explore the incredible health benefits by returning to that ancient eating pattern and what it may hold for you. We will encourage you to study the opinions of Nutritionists, Naturopathic doctors, and public health officials and read the results of the latest clinical trials and research.
You can trade the Standard American Diet for a healthier, simpler way of eating. Look at the specific foods you should avoid, as well as the foods you will enjoy in unlimited amounts, and some foods that should only be eaten in moderation.
We will look into planning your meals so you can achieve success. Included are a few recipes based on nourishing your Paleolithic Era Self to help your journey. Finally, we present you with a list of tips, tricks, and techniques to help you get over the bumps along the road as you travel towards your ultimate health goals of increased energy and have less fear of degenerative disease.
While you travel on this healthy journey, you will discover the wonderful selection and diversity of foods and meals you can enjoy. Nourishment that not only will satisfy you, but will please everyone with a palette.
