• In another large bowl add melted coconut oil and cacao powder until well blended 
• Whisk sugar, vanilla extract, eggs and salt into the larger bowl with the coconut and cacao powder mixture.
• Add dry ingredients into the mixture whisk well until smooth. Let batter rest for 10 mins to allow the coconut flour to absorb some of the moisture.
