I’m intimidated by making layered cakes. At one stage I thought someone could potentially Photoshop another layer or two if it didn’t work. Then someone told me to split between two tins. True story :/
ingredients
Hazelnut Chocolate Torte
- 1 cup of coconut sugar see product
- 3 cups of ground hazelnuts

method
- Step 1Preheat the oven to 175 degrees. Grease the bottom of two circular medium-sized springform pans and then line with baking paper.
- Step 2Combine the chia ‘eggs’ with the cinnamon and beat with an electric whisk for a few minutes.
- Step 3Gradually beat in the Coconut sugar.
- Step 4Combine the ground hazelnuts with the plain flour and baking soda and fold into the wet batter.
- Step 5Pour between the two tins and gently tap the side to make the mixture settle.
- Step 6Cook in the oven for 45 minutes and test with skewer to come clean.
- Step 7Take out and cool on wire racks before removing from the tins.
- Step 8To make the frosting, melt Hazelnut chocolate gently in a double boiler and set to the side.
- Step 9Separate the hard coconut cream from the coconut water. Beat the coconut cream and slowly incorporate the melted chocolate until just combined.
- Step 10Generously spread both cakes with the hazelnut cream and set one atop of the other. Finish with hazelnuts and blueberries.
