Recipe

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Put all the ingredients (except the pumpkin seeds and chocolate chips) into a high speed blender and mix until smooth. Pour into a pan that is lightly greased with coconut oil. Sprinkle chocolate chips and/or pumpkin seeds on top if you wish.

Place in a large rectangular pan that is lightly greased with coconut oil. Bake for about 25 minutes. Bake longer if you want a firmer cake, and shorter for an even creamier, softer cake. For a softer cake, take it out of the oven when only the edges of the cake are starting to firm and crack, and the middle is still pudding-like.

Store in the fridge. Enjoy this cake cold, room temperature, or heated up.
