I just whipped up this last minute Chocolate Cake to say Merry, merry Christmas to all you beautiful souls!! xoxo

I’ve been in full on Christmas mode the past few weeks. My phone doesn’t leave that one radio station that’s been playing nothing but Christmas music. I did’t do any Christmas shopping and I don’t think I will be doing it at all this year. It’s too late anyway … instead this year everyone will get a food gift and something homemade. There’s nothing like celebrating with some do-it-yourself gifts. There’s also something absolutely adore, very personal about receiving a gift that’s homemade. Thoughts?

Chocolate Cake – is no doubt a new favorite – especially for Christmas! The best chocolate cake recipe! Ever? There are plenty of claims for the best chocolate cake recipe, I get that.! But with one bite of this cake will have you singing carols;) Honesty, it is probably one of the easiest cakes I’ve made in a long time. Here’s another great thing about this recipe, can be made in just a few minutes and the result is oh so delicious and is full of holiday spirit! I was so impressed with the result.

The chocolate cake itself is so rich and soft full of lovely soft sweet prunes, bananas, raw cacao powder, vanilla, oats and finally sunflower seeds all surrounded by coconut whipped cream. The cake is then topped with adorable chocolate trees.

The name says its all – soft, moist, chocolatey with coconut and vanilla for the perfect festive flair. Finally, the cake is sprinkled with cacao powder and shredded coconut.

Happy day of dessert making everyone! Hope you are enjoying as much as I am!
