Serve this delicious and nutritious chocolate cake for a special birthday or holiday dessert. Double the recipe for a layer cake! Dust with powdered coconut sugar or drizzle with a powdered coconut sugar-cacao powder glaze. The Chocolate Avocado Frosting also pairs well with this cake, especially for a double layer cake. Follow my instructions for grinding your own buckwheat flour before gathering ingredients for this cake, as regular buckwheat flour from the store won't work in this recipe.
