Paleo Chocolate Protein Bundt Cake

Happy National Chocolate Cake Day!  Food holidays are fun for bloggers but sometimes I wonder if other people love them as much as we do…it’s basically like Taco Tuesday on crack, right?  Anyways, how’s this for a paleo*, gluten free, refined sugar free dessert?  I will admit that as far as bundt cakes go, it’s not the most gorgeous one on the block…but only because I didn’t make it a mega whopper size bundt cake 😉

*Make sure that if you’re going for paleo, you use grass fed whey protein and dairy/soy free chocolate chips!

You can avoid any drippage of the coconut frosting by making sure your cake is completely cool before you frost (I get impatient, of course), and you can also “set” it in it’s prettiest form by waiting to frost it until just before serving.  Stick it in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before serving for an even better set up.

Oh. My.  Now that’s some pretty frosting.  Don’t forget to check out my video for this recipe by heading over to my YouTube channel!
