Cauliflower Birthday Cake?

I've been meaning to try this recipe for chocolate cake, but it uses coconut flour instead of the cauliflower you're looking for. Might help someone though!


Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 40 mins
Total time: 50 mins


Ingredients
¼ cup of coconut flour
1 egg
4 egg whites
2 Tbs. raw cocoa powder
2 Tbs. cold espresso (or cold coffee from the morning)
½ cup vanilla almond milk
6 pitted dates, soaked and chopped (Sugar free version- just add 2-3 servings of stevia for the whole cake)
½ tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. baking powder
1 dash of cinnamon
1 tsp. vanilla extract
pinch of salt


Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Grease a round baking pan. You may use any shape you desire.
If using dates, soak until softened and puree with almond milk so you don’t have large chunks. If not using dates, skip this step.
Combine all the wet ingredients in a large mixing bowl (eggs, almond milk, vanilla, coffee). Whisk until combined.
Stir in dry ingredients (all remaining ingredients), and stir until combined.
NOTE: with coconut flour, the batter may initial look and feel like it’s very thin and watery. This will change as the coconut flour starts to absorb the moisture. The overall batter will be thinner than a standard cake batter, this is desired. When baking it will come together.
Bake for 30-40 minutes (depending on your oven settings), or until you can stick a knife/toothpick into the center and it comes out clean.
Let sit and cool for about 10-20 minutes.
Garnish with Chocolate Mousse Frosting.

you need frosting for this cake. use this recipe:

Reeses Pieces Frosting

(Yields almost 1/2 cup)
■1/4 cup peanut butter (or other nut butter)
■4-8 tsp pure maple syrup (click for a sugar-free alternative)
■2 tbsp cocoa powder
■4 tsp milk of choice (or more for thinner frosting)
■3/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
■optional: handful of chocolate chips (the “pieces”)

Blend everything (including chips, if using) in a small food processor or Magic Bullet. If you have a bigger processor, it might be best to double the recipe so everything blends more smoothly. Best to store uneaten frosting covered in the fridge.

WIN :laugh: :laugh:

Quit it guys, I don't like most sweet things. Most my life I have been like that. I have a lot of taste buds that register the sweet in my tongue and sometime really sweet things feel like a 9 bolt battery on the tongue. I love the idea of savory options for my birthday. Of course if I'm having a get together to have both the sweet cake and something savory for me. Don't beat anyone who wants that. I personally love having steaks grilled for my birthday and than get my kids frozen custard afterword. That way everyone wins. That said since joining MFP my desire for sweets seemed to incress. Since i told myself my macros and put a said limit, I find myself craving it more. It's amazing the power of wanting what you can't have is. Had a piece of cake the other day and just dealt with it being too much sugar for my tastes. I couldn't imagine how it is for people that loved cake and ice cream before restricting. Must take will power to want the cauliflower cake. Hope your birthday is wonderful
