The Chocolate Chip Tahini Cake with a (4-Ingredient!) Vegan Chocolate Frosting 💅🏼 I’ve needed some comfort and something to look forward to, so naturally I made cake 🍰 Are we surprised? I guess I could try looking at other coping mechanisms, but this is all I got and for now, that is okay with me 😌 Please note, I won’t say this is my favorite recipe but I also won’t say it isn’t. Save this post to keep the recipe for later! ❤️ Ingredients 3/4 cup tahini 2 eggs (for vegan option, use 2 flax eggs) 3/4 cup coconut sugar 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk 1 tsp vanilla extract 1.5 cup + 2 tbsp almond flour 2 tbsp coconut flour 1 tsp baking soda chocolate chips for folding into batter and pressing on top (measure with the soul) Vegan Chocolate Frosting 2 tbsp cocoa/cacao powder 1/4 cup creamy nut butter (i like almond) 2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk (feel free to add more almond milk to thin, or more almond butter to thicken to reach your desired consistency) 2 tbsp maple syrup Directions Preheat oven to 350°F.
