chocolate and walnut cake |
|
All hail the chocolate cake!!
This recipe really does taste as good as it looks! Moist, soft and full of chocolatey goodness without the guilt!
In this recipe I used Blue Diamond unsweetened almond milk, Green & Blacks cocoa powder and Vita Coco coconut oil. All the rest of the ingredients I bought from my local Tesco and Lidl stores and are own brands!
Ingredients
Cake-
1 cup almond flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/3 cup coconut flour
2 cups walnuts
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. vanilla essence
1/2 cup almond milk
4 eggs
2 tbsp. coconut oil and extra to grease tin
Directions-
- Pre heat oven to 175 degrees C.
- Grease a medium cake tin with a small amount of coconut oil.
- Melt the rest of the coconut oil in the microwave for 30-40 seconds until melted. Leave to cool a little.
- Whilst the coconut oil cools sieve coconut flour, almond flour and cocoa into a large mixing bowl and combine. Add baking powder and mix in.
- Combine cooled coconut oil, almond milk and vanilla essence in a separate bowl.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and combine.
- Add eggs one at a time and mix.
- Add the walnuts and mix. The mixture should now be a cake like batter.
- Pop in the cake tin and bake for 15-20 minutes. Check the centre of the cake with a knife and if comes out clear then its all done.
- Leave on the side to cool.
Whilst the cake cools you can make your Avocado Chocolate Mousse Frosting.
You will need-
1 ripe avocado
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup cocoa powder
This is really simple to make. All you need to do is pop all the ingredients into a blender or chopper and whizz together to make the frosting. Once the cake is cool spread the frosting over the top, add some walnuts for decoration and ta-da! Your Chocolate and Walnut cake is complete :).
