Grease a 9x13 baking dish (I use glass). Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a big bowl, add and mix:
1 can coconut milk (I used a 13.66 oz. can unsweet organic coconut milk)
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup olive oil (or oil of your choice)
1 1/4 cups sugar (or up to 2 1/2 cups, if you prefer)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup olive oil (or oil of your choice)
1 1/4 cups sugar (or up to 2 1/2 cups, if you prefer)
1 cup of water
Then mix these and blend with the wet ingredients:
4 1/2 cups flour (I use fresh ground flour)
2/3 - 1 cup cocoa powder (I use 1 cup, very cocoa-y)
1 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup shredded coconut (optional)
4 1/2 cups flour (I use fresh ground flour)
2/3 - 1 cup cocoa powder (I use 1 cup, very cocoa-y)
1 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup shredded coconut (optional)
If the batter is too thick, add a bit more water. If it's too thin, add a bit more flour.
Pour into greased pan, smooth out, sprinkle a spoonful of sugar across the top, and bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes, until done. You may need to cover with foil the last 15 minutes. Let it cool, then serve. (Or serve warm.) I am not a morning person, so I always make it the night before so that it's ready for breakfast in the morning.
