Cake Batter
- 2 cups gluten free flour
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup plant based milk
- 2 medium eggs
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 pinch sea salt
Chocolate and Avocado Cream
- 2 large avocados
- 100 g 70% chocolate
- 1/2 cup plant based milk
- 6 to 8 drops stevia
- 1 cup fresh fruit of choice
- 1 tbsp pumpkin seeds
Set the oven to gas mark 180c or 160c if you are using a fan oven.
Grease two 8 inch cake tins and set aside.
Place the flour, salt and baking soda in a separate bowl.
Put the cocoa in a second bowl and add the milk little by little to make a stiff paste.
For the cake batter, in a third bowl, beat the eggs, coconut sugar, vanilla, melted coconut oil, and apple cider vinegar.
Add the flour mixture and the cocoa paste to the wet cake batter and mix until you have a smooth batter.
Pour the mixture equally into the greased tins and place in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes. The cakes are done when a skewer inserted comes out clean. Once cooked, take out of the tins and place on a cooling rack.
Chocolate and Avocado Cream
Snap the chocolate into pieces and melt by placing in a bowl over a pan of boiling water.
Once melted place in a blender with the rest of the "cream" ingredients and blend until smooth.
Spread 3 to 4 tablespoons of the "cream" over one half of the cooled cake and place the other cake on top to make a sandwich. Spread the rest of the "cream" over the top of the cake and decorate with your favourite fruit and a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds.
