Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 F and prepare 3 (8-inch) cake pans by spraying and lining with parchment.
Whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, coconut sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk melted coconut oil, eggs, non-dairy milk, and vanilla.
Combine the wet ingredients with the dry, then mix in the vinegar until fully incorporated.
Divide the thick batter evenly among the prepared pans and bake for 25 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs; cool completely.
To make the frosting, heat coconut cream in a small saucepan until very hot, then remove from heat, add chocolate chips, and let sit for 5 minutes to melt before stirring in salt.
Cool the chocolate mixture completely (about 1 hour), then whisk with an electric mixer until fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Assemble the cake by placing one layer on a stand, spreading with frosting, then repeating with the second and third layers, finishing with the remaining frosting.
