This coconut cake is 100% keto-friendly and low-carb. One addition I'd highly recommend - adding in shredded coconut to the batter before baking - it gives this coconut cake a delicious toasted-coconut flavor!!

- 1/3 cup coconut flour

- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with an electric mixer until frothy. Then, beat in the vanilla & almond extracts and coconut oil.
