How to make this Healthy Choco Cake
Ingredients (makes for 1 cake)

- 40gr cacao
- 200ml water
- 6 dates
- 3tsp baking powder
- 2 eggs
- 2tbsp melted coconut oil
- 5 stevia drops

Cooking Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Soak the dates for about 15 minutes in some hot water. Cut the zucchini into large chunks and put them into a blender. Add the soaked dates and mix until it becomes a smooth paste. Pour the mixture into a sieve and drain well. Make sure that most of the moisture has been drained. Use a spoon to go through the mixture.
- Mix all dry ingredients (oatmeal, coconut flour, cacao, baking powder and salt) in a bowl.
- In another bowl, mix the eggs, water, stevia and coconut oil. Stir well and add the (drained) zucchini mixture. Gradually add the dry mixture to the zucchini mixture. Mix well.
- Grease a cake tin with a little coconut oil, or put some baking paper in. Pour the batter into the cake tin and place in the oven for about 40 minutes.
- Let it cool for at least 10 minutes before removing from the tin.
