I followed the directions and made this, it came out looking like soup instead of batter. I added a 1/4 cup of coconut flour and a tad bit extra cocoa, it came out great.<br/>Light and fluffy with a good taste.<br/>I made it into cupcakes, filled them with peanut butter and put some peanut butter whip cream frosting.

I'm a 27 year old mother of one and I LOVE cooking. Unfortunately, my husband and I have become very strict dieters (we've both lost over 50 lbs.!) and don't eat most of the stuff I love to cook - so I plan elaborate parties for all of our friends and make a giant buffet of everything I like to cook! It's been working out well and we have TONS of new friends!
