Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 1/2 cups self-raising flour Ensure it's sifted.
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar Adjust sweetness to taste.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups dairy-free milk Use room temperature.
  • 1/2 cup neutral flavored oil Or melted vegan butter.
  • 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar Or white vinegar.
Chocolate and Topping
  • 1 1/4 cups roughly chopped vegan chocolate Or chocolate chips.
  • 1 cup thick scoopable canned coconut cream
  • 1/2 cup raspberry jam Optional.
  • 2 cups desiccated coconut Use fine shredded coconut if available.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a large baking tin with baking paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt, stirring gently until smooth.
  3. Add in the wet ingredients: dairy-free milk, oil, vinegar, and vanilla, mixing until smooth.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared tin and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean.
  5. Let the cake cool in the tin before chilling it in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
Ganache Preparation
  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the chopped chocolate and coconut cream until combined and velvety.
Assembly
  1. After chilling, slice the cake in half if it's too thick and spread raspberry jam on one half.
  2. Place the other half on top and cut the cake into squares.
  3. Dip each piece in ganache, allowing excess to drip off, and roll in desiccated coconut.
Storage
  1. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to a month.

Notes

Use high-quality vegan chocolate for better flavor. Don't skip chilling time to firm up the cake. Try swapping raspberry jam for your favorite jam or adding fresh fruit.
