1 cup almond flour

1 tbsp baking powder

½ cup softened Native Forest Organic Virgin Coconut Oil, not melted

2 tbsp avocado oil

3 organic eggs

1 cup maple syrup (sub with honey)

Grapefruit zest, 1 grapefruit (sub with orange or lemon zest)

Pinch of salt

Ingredients Whipped Coconut Cream:

27 oz Native Forest Organic Unsweetened Coconut Cream

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and grease 3 6-inch springform pans with coconut oil.

  5. Evenly pour batter into the three pans and bake in the oven for about 30-35 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
