Paleo Chocolate Peppermint Fudge Brownie Cake

This Paleo Chocolate Peppermint Fudge Brownie Cake is decadently delicious and fudgy! It’s so easy to make and if you’re a chocolate lover like me, I can almost guarantee you’ll want to go back for seconds! I chose to top my cake with crunchy, nutty walnuts reminiscent of chocolate fudge brownies of course! You can also top it with minty crushed candy canes, or with a superfood like cacao nibs or another nut of choice!

Raw organic cacao is high in fiber and promotes healthy digestion. Cacao powder is packed with health boosting flavonoids. It’s nutrients have been shown to help lower blood pressure, improve blood flow to the brain and heart, and aid in preventing blood clots.

This low sugar, gluten-free fudgy brownie cake is perfect for any occasion but I especially love it around the holidays! Chocolate and peppermint remind me of all the festive drinks at Christmas. Although I stay far away from the artificially flavored Starbucks Peppermint Mocha lattes etc… they always sound so good! I just wish they were made with natural ingredients. Next time you’re craving a Chocolate Peppermint something, try this cake out! It’s so easy to make and stores in the fridge from up to 5 days! I hope you enjoy it 🙂

Paleo Chocolate Peppermint Fudge Brownie Cake

Prep time: 10 Minutes
Cook time: 25 Minutes
Total time: 35 Minutes
Servings: 12

Ingredients

The Cake
  • 1 cup Enjoy Life Dark Chocolate Chips
  • ½ cup coconut oil
  • ¾ cup monk fruit (sub stevia or coconut sugar)
  • ¼ teaspoon Celtic salt
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 3 pasture raised eggs (beaten)
  • ½ cup raw cacao powder
Chocolate Ganache
  • 1 cup Enjoy Life Dark Chocolate Chips
  • ½ cup full fat coconut milk
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts (or topping of choice)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees and place a piece of parchment paper inside your 8" round cake pan.
2. Make the cake first placing the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a small microwave safe bowl for about 1 min to melt the chocolate. You may also use a double boiler to do this. Make sure not to burn the chocolate. Stir until smooth.
3. Add sweetener, salt + peppermint and stir to combine.
4. Add eggs and stir, then add the cacao powder and stir until just combine (don't over mix).
5. Pour batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25 min, or until the cake reaches 200°F.
6. Let the cake cool for 30 minutes before carefully lifting out of the pan. You make place your serving plate over the top of the cake, and carefully flip upside down (so that the bottom of the cake is not the top). Let cool completely and make ganache.
7. To make the ganache, simply place chocolate and coconut milk in a microwave safe bowl (or double boiler) and melt chocolate. If using a microwave, you can heat it in 30 second increments until completely melted and smooth. Do not over heat!
8. Spread over the cooled cake and add toppings!!!
