Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 8×12-inch cake pan with baking paper.
  • Place all dry ingredients into a large bowl and mix well. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, add the wet ingredients, with the exception of the coconut oil. Mix until well combined. Now fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture.
  • Finally add the melted coconut oil into the cake batter and stir to combine. Pour the batter into the earlier prepared pan and bake in the oven for 35 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place the frosting ingredients into a bowl and whip together using a hand mixer.
  • Once the cake has cooked and an inserted toothpick comes out clean, remove the cake from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool completely. Once cool, layer the frosting on top. Garnish with ground cinnamon and walnuts.
