Vegan chocolate choma cake

This recipe is called chocolate "choma" cake because when I sent the picture to my mom when she was at work, she texted me back saying, "I will be going into a chocolate choma when I eat that later." Sparked some laughter, I love my mom. This recipe turned out quite nice. At traditional dense chocolate cake given a healthy vegan twist.

I use a dry bowl and wet bowl to make things easier on myself, then just mix them together and throw it in the oven.

The dry ingredients are:

• 1 cup oat flour
• 2 cups almond flour
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 1 tsn baking soda
• 1 tsn baking powder 

The wet ingredients are:

• 3/4 cup pure maple syrup 
• 1/2 cup virgin coconut oil
• 1 tsn vanilla extract 
• 1tsn almond extract 
• 2 cups of dates ( put in the food processor and turned into "mush") 
• 2 tbsn chia seeds 

Mix the wet and dry, then put in a pan to bake at 350 for about 35-40 minutes or until it is dry in the middle. 

For the icing:

• 1/2 cup cashews (soaked in water for at least 2 hours)
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 6 medjool dates
• 1/4-1/2 cup almond milk (you can add more to thin the icing)
• dash of cinnamon 

* refrigerate icing for at least an hour or to desired consistency
