TEXAS SHEET CAKE RECIPE (healthified)

Cake:
1 cup vegan butter 2 sticks
1 cup water
4 Tablespoons cocoa
2 cups monkfruit sugar
2 cups cassava flour (or 1 cup whole wheat and 1 cup unbleached white flour)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs beaten (I used duck)
1/2 cup unsweet coconut milk
1 teaspoon organic vanilla

Instructions:
Grease a 10x15x1 inch sheet cake pan and set aside. Note: you can use a smaller pan, and get a thicker cake… its delicious either way.
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
Put butter, water and cocoa in a sauce pan and bring to a gentle boil.
Put the remaining dry ingredients into a bowl and stir to mix well.
Pour hot mixture into dry ingredients and stir well.
Add eggs, coconut milk, and vanilla and mix thoroughly.
Pour into a greased sheet cake pan (10 x 15 x 1 is a good size)
Bake 20-25 minutes or until test knife comes out clean.

While cake is cooking, make the icing as follows:
Icing:
1/2 cup vegan butter (1 stick)
1/4 cup cocoa
6 tablespoons coconut milk
2 cups organic powdered monkfruit sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Chopped Pecans
2 tsp cinnamon

Melt butter with cocoa, whisking well as it melts.
Add coconut milk and continue stirring.
Add powdered sugar, and vanilla, & cinnamon.
Mix well.
Pour over cake as soon as it comes out of oven.
Allow to cool and serve (actually this is a wasted instruction… eat it hot if you like, it is so good any which way you serve it.
