method
- Step 1 :Preheat your oven to 175 Degrees Celsius and lightly spray a circular form pan. Line the bottom with non-stick baking paper.
- Step 2 :In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, cacao powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt.
- Step 3 :Prepare the flax eggs by mixing 1 tbsp. of flax meal to 3 tbsp. of water. Combine and set aside for 10 minutes. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients from step 2 and pour in the milk, olive oil and vanilla. Lightly mix with a wisk until just combined. Ensure not to overmix the batter.
- Step 4 :Roughly chop the Raspberry Cashew Mylk Chocolate, scatter, and fold through the batter.
- Step 5 :Pour half of the batter into the prepared cake pan and scatter one punnet of fresh raspberries over it. Top with the remaining batter, making sure that no fresh raspberries are peeping through. Place the pan into the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.
- Step 6 :After 45 minutes, remove the cake pan and cool the wire rack for 10 minutes.
- Step 7 :While the cake is cooling, prepare your ganache by placing the 2x blocks of Raspberry Cashew Mylk Chocolate and 1x block of Dark Chocolate into a heatproof bowl. Place the heatproof bowl over a saucepan with hot water. Stir through the canned coconut cream, maple syrup, and vanilla. Once the chocolate has completely melted and it's turned into a thick chocolate sauce, you're ready to ice the cake!
- Step 8 :Make sure that the cake has completely cooled before icing it. Spread the Raspberry Chocolate Ganache generously over the cake and spread evenly over the sides. Top with the remaining punnet of fresh raspberries before slicing to serve!
