(Easy) Paleo Layer Cake

Here's a little known fact about me: I am not a baker. When it came to doling out roles in the family, Jenny got baker and I got chef. I make the meals, she makes the deserts. She even used to have a little company (we have a problem starting businesses...you should see our business card drawers...) called "Jenny Cakes Cadieux." But, as I started to get more into paleo, I realized I was going to need some treats that I could make for birthdays and holidays. I mastered my zucchini bread for Thanksgiving and Christmas, but I wanted something special I could make for birthdays, especially for a very special first birthday coming up (!!). So, I tried a lot of different recipes out there, but was mostly inspired by one of my favorite paleo cakes: Delighted Momma's vanilla mug cake (I have an addiction to it!).

I set to testing cakes for Jenny's birthday, and stumbled upon, what I think, is an amazing paleo cake! Eric even liked it...and that says a lot. For Jenny's birthday I made three of these, and layered them with Elana's Pantry's chocolate frosting (amazing recipe). Now, I'm not a recipe writer, so I'm just going to tell you what I did, and explain the best I can! All I can say is that the cake is unreal, and no one would know it was dairy/grain/gluten/nut/refined sugar free. I will be making this again for Weston's first birthday, but subbing the honey out for maple syrup, as babies aren't supposed to have much honey. Okay, here goes...
