Almond butter adds an extra-rich texture to this vegan take.
Instead of the usual butter and sugar, this creamy chocolate frosting gets its richness from coconut oil and almond butter and sweetness from maple syrup. The icing, from the cookbook Sweet Laurel: Recipes for Whole Food, Grain-Free Desserts, makes a delicious accompaniment to a chocolate, peanut butter, or vanilla cake.
