Ingredients
Cake:
  • 1½ cups of flour
  • 1 cup of sugar (brown or coconut work great)
  • 1 tsp of baking soda
  • 3 tbsp (generous) of cacao powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 6 tbsp coconut oil (melted)
  • 2 tsp vanilla essence
  • 1 tsp vinegar
  • 1 cup of water
Filling:
  • 1 bar of chocolate 70% (100g)
  • ½ can of coconut cream (only the thick part)
  • Shredded coconut
Frosting:
  • 1 can of coconut condensed milk
  • 1 bar of chocolate 70% (100g)
  • ¼ can of coconut cream (you can use the leftover from the filling)
Instructions
Cake:
  1. Preheat the oven at 180ÂșC.
  2. In a large bowl sift the dry ingredients and mix well.
  3. Then make 3 holes and pour the vanilla in one, the oil in another and the vinegar in the last one.
  4. Lastly, pour room temperature water all over and mix well.
  5. Pour in a pan and bake for about 25-35 minutes depending on your oven.
  6. For this cake I made 2 recipes.
Filling:
  1. Melt the chocolate bar in bain-marie or on the microwave.
  2. Then add the thick part of coconut cream and mix until smooth and shiny.
  3. Add some shredded coconut (optional) to your taste.
  4. Once the cake is cool, spread the filling evenly and top with the other cake.
Frosting:
  1. In a pan, add the condensed milk and the chocolate bar broken into pieces.
  2. Cook stirring consistently until the cream is thick (about 5 minutes).
  3. Add the coconut cream and mix well until you reach your desired consistency (it should be runny but not to liquid-y otherwise it will just run down on the cake).
  4. Top with berries & enjoy!
