I followed the directions and made this, it came out looking like soup instead of batter. I added a 1/4 cup of coconut flour and a tad bit extra cocoa, it came out great.<br/>Light and fluffy with a good taste.<br/>I made it into cupcakes, filled them with peanut butter and put some peanut butter whip cream frosting.
