Primal chocolate cream cheese spice cake

Picture
Its getting close to Halloween and for many that means high fructose laden candy and itchy polyester costumes.  For my family it means the celebration of harvest, the coming of winter and the remembrance of loved ones.  This is when we begin to see the cold hand of Autumn touch nature.  This is a time of death.  Like most other holidays that were once about family and connection and had deep meanings, we have sensationalized and turned this time for reflection into a gimmick.  Halloween isn't about the stuff, its actually about losing the "stuff".  This is when crops are dying, animals are culled that wont survive the winter, wood, food and supplies are being harvested and stored, leaves are falling, the days are getting shorter, animals are scurrying to gather their food for winter, and the thermometer drops outside to make baking inside comfortable.  This is my favorite time of year. 
I made this cake to satisfy that sweet tooth craving and it has some pumpkin pie spices in it.  I made sweet cream to top it off with, you don't need to do that.

Ingredients


1/4 cup raw cacao powder
1/2 cup golden flax seed, whole
1/4 tea of baking powder
1/2 cup of chocolate chips (i like these chocolate chips, they are soy and gluten free)
5 oz cream cheese
1/4 cup maple syrup (I actually only used 2 tbs and it was pretty good but needed the sweet cream)
1 tbs vanilla
6 eggs
1/2 cup almond butter
2 tea pumpkin spice blend i like this if you want to make your own pumpkin pie spice blend
1/4 tea of baking powder





Instructions

* grind the flax seed in your coffee grinder
* combine all the dry ingredients in one bowl
* in another bowl place the cream cheese with the other liquids and blend
* add the liquids to the dry ingredients and mix
* butter pan really well
* pour the mixture into a cake pan, i used a bunt pan because i think they are neat, but any glass, stainless steel, clay or porcelain baking apparatus will work.
* bake in oven at 350 for about 30 mins- 1 hour, it took about 45 mins in my bunt pan but i kept checking it, its done when a knife comes out clean. Don't overcook it.

*blessings*
