Is butter "Paleo?" Click [here|http://whole9life.com/2011/10/butter/] and [here|http://paleodietlifestyle.com/the-many-virtues-of-butter/] for some great info on this topic. If you cannot consume butter, I recommend making a double batch of this [chocolate buttercream frosting|http://www.elanaspantry.com/paleo-chocolate-frosting/]. As with all desserts, it's best to consume in moderation.

• 8 ounces dark chocolate (I used Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips because they are soy-free)
• 8 tablespoons unsalted butter or 7 tablespoons ghee
• 2/3 cup maple syrup
• 6 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 4 cups almond flour (only use a finely ground flour such as Honeyville, or the cake will be crumbly)
• 2 teaspoons coconut flour
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 teaspoon baking powder (make sure it's grain-free)*
• 4 large eggs
• 1/3 cup maple syrup or honey
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• pinch of sea salt
• 1 pound unsalted butter, softened, each stick cut into tablespoons
