Ingredients
Directions
Cake
Mix the cocoa and coconut oil into a drizzly paste and set aside.
Cream the butter and sugar.
Add the rest of the wet ingredients, except the sour cream and water.
Mix together the rest of your dry ingredients.
Add the dry flour mixture and the sour cream, alternating about 1/2 cup of each at a time.
Slowly mix in the boiling water.
Divide the batter evenly between two buttered and floured round 9" cake pans.
Bake at 375°F for just under 25 minutes (err on the side of less done than more, gooey cake is better than dry cake).
Let them cool a bit in the pans, then turn them out onto a cooling rack to finish.
Frosting
Mix butter and cream cheese together (Gasp! I know!!!)
Add honey, tasting as you go.
Add vanilla. I totally didn't measure, so just add slowly and taste often.
Don't let it get too warm or the frosting doesn't hold it's shape as well. You can put it in the fridge for a bit if the shapes start becoming less distinct. Just don't let it get rock hard.
