METHOD
FOR THE SPONGE CAKE
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, cocoa powder, tapioca starch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until no lumps remain.
- In a blender combine the cashew/almond butter, coconut sugar, applesauce, plant milk and lemon juice
- Pour the wet ingredients to the dry and stir to combine, and then pour into an 8-inch cake pan (round).
- Bake for 35 minutes at 180C/350F or until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove from the oven and cool completely.
FOR THE FROSTING
- Melt the coconut oil
- Combine all ingredients in a small mixing bowl. Stir until smooth.
FOR THE SALTED CARAMEL
- Add the agave/maple/date syrup into a saucepan alongside the thick white part of the coconut milk.
- Heat for 5-10 minutes, stir continuously until the sauce starts to darken and thicken. Once your caramel is formed, leave to cool completely (1-2 hours)
FOR THE COCO WHIP
- Once the cake is cool, slice it in half through the centre so that you have 2 discs. Layer the bottom disc with half of the chocolate frosting and 2/3rds of the salted caramel.
- Place the top disc on top and layer with the remaining chocolate frosting. Drizzle in salted caramel, and use a piping bag for coco whip decorations.
