Paleo Chocolate Cake with Sweet Potato and Medicinal Mushrooms

Easy and simple paleo chocolate cake with sweet potato and medicinal mushrooms for added health benefits.

Recipe Ingredients:
- 1 medium roasted sweet potato
- 1/4 cup mashed avocado
- 3 pasture-raised eggs
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup of “5 Defenders Tea”**
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cup cacao (I used Addictive Wellness)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (I used Redmond Real Salt)
- 1-3 TB lakanto monk fruit sweetener depending on how sweet you like desserts (I used 2 TB and felt they were quite sweet, my husband thought they were perfect. Next time, I’ll probably use 1 TB.) You could also try a few dates or another sweetener if you don’t like monkfruit.
- Peppemint essential oil (4 drops – I used Young Living)

Directions:

**To make 5 Defenders Tea: Mix 1 heaped tsp of Real Mushrooms 5 Defenders blend with 1/2 cup of hot water. (You can even try doing 2 heaped tsp for a more intense flavor and medicinal effect). Also, if you don’t have 5 Defenders on hand, you can sub another adaptogen/mushroom/or even Dandy Tea – let me know if you try that out!

- In a bowl, mash together roasted sweet potato, avocado, coconut oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and 5 Defenders Tea.
- Into the same bowl, add dry ingredients (coconut flour, cacao, salt, baking soda, monk fruit sweetener). If adding the peppermint, add 4 drops peppermint. Mix together.
- Pour mixture into a greased 8×8 pan.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes at 350 degrees.
- Top with some coconut cream or whatever fun, delicious toppings you want!

Enjoy!

I have your Turkey tail pills. I’m wondering if I can use Turkey Tail powder instead of the 5 defenders tea? Do you think it will work just fine if I opened a few of the pills to get the powder out or I just buy the Turkey tail powder and use that? If so, how much you think I would need?
