METHOD
First make your cake:
- Preheat oven to 180°C (355°F) and line a 20 cm (8 inch) springform cake tin with baking paper.
- In a large bowl combine the almond meal, coconut flour and baking powder.
- In a blender, whiz the coconut oil and rice malt syrup together.
- Add the eggs, vanilla, coconut milk and mix well. (Don’t worry if it looks a little ‘curdled’).
- Pour this into the large bowl with the dry ingredients and gently mix together.
- Transfer into the lined tin and bake for 40 minutes or until lightly brown.
- Allow to cool completely.
While the cake cooks, make your jelly:
- In a small sauce pan combine the tea and rice malt syrup.
- Sprinkle over the gelatin and mix together.
- Allow to stand for 5 minutes.
- Place the sauce pan onto medium heat and continuously stir for 5 minutes until smooth.
- Pour the mix into a 20 cm (8 inch) square large silicone mold or lined slice tin.
- Place in to the freezer for 20 minutes or until set.
While this is setting, get onto the choccy cream and slice your berries:
- The chocolate cream is easy, whiz everything in your blender until super smooth.
- Now it’s time to layer everything up!- cake, choc cream, fruit, jelly, cake, cream, fruit, topped with coconut flakes – but you really can get creative here!
- Enjoy!
