Instructions

Pumpkin Filling:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 10-inch bundt pan with coconut oil, and dust with cacao powder.
2. In a blender add all the pumpkin filling ingredients and mix well until creamy and smooth. Patience, this may take longer if any of your ingredients are cold. Set aside.
Chocolate Cake:
3. In a dry food processor fitted with the “S” blade, grind the sweetener to a fine powder.
4. Add the shredded coconut to the sweetener in the food processor. Spin it for a minute until a very fine powder. Open the lid, stir the bottom, replace the lid, and grind again until the powder is uniformly fine.
5. To the ingredients in the food processor, add the cacao powder, baking soda, salt, and arrowroot.
6. To the dry ingredients in the food processor, add the eggs, vinegar, blueberries, apple, vanilla, and coffee crystals. Mix briefly and well.
7. Pour the chocolate batter evenly into the Bundt pan. Now dribble the pumpkin filling into the pan in big messy globs. Use a small size rubber scraper to stir the two batters together in circular movements all around the inside of the pan. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes.
8. Remove the cake from the oven. Let cool for about 1 hour in the pan. Using a thin knife, release around the edges and center of the Bundt pan to gently allow the cake to pull away. Place inverted cake on a large platter.
Chocolate Sauce:
9. In any blender, add the sweetener, warm water, coconut oil, and vanilla. Blend briefly until the sweetener is dissolved. You can also mix this with a whisk if you don't mind a few lumps.
10. Add the cacao powder and blend until smooth. Sweeten to taste.The mixture should be quite thick. You can thin it by adding a teaspoon of warm water or more, until it reaches your desired consistency. If you prefer it thicker, add 1 to 2 tablespoons more cacao powder.
11. Drizzle the chocolate sauce over the cake and sprinkle with a few goji berries. enjoy!
