Carob Covered Peep Cakes

I need to stop going to the craft store. Not because I’m especially crafty, but because there are so many cool baking things too! My daughter and I were at a local craft shop and discovered the Easter baking section of the store. I found a super sweet candy or cake mold that I used to make gluten-free Peep cakes. So adorable.

Ingredients

• 6 eggs
• 1/2 cup coconut flour 
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 cup honey + 1 Tbsp (for the topping)
• 1 Tbsp vanilla
• 1/2 cup coconut oil + 1/2 cup (for the topping)
• 1/2 cup roasted carob powder
• 2 cups shredded coconut
• silicone mold 

Instructions 

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Mix together coconut flour and baking powder. Melt 1/2 cup coconut oil. Use some oil to grease mold. 
3. Mix 1/4 cup honey into oil along with eggs and vanilla. Mix together dry and wet ingredients. Pour batter into mold. 
4. Bake for 20 minutes. Allow to cool. 
5. Melt together carob powder, 1/2 cup coconut oil and 1 Tbsp honey. (The honey is optional.)
6. Pour mixture over cooled cakes and sprinkle with shredded coconut. Store in refrigerator.
