Ingredients
  

  • 220 g spelt flour
  • 110 g coconut sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 50 ml plant milk
  • 80 ml coffee liquor
  • 90 ml espresso
  • 80 ml canola oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Ganache

  • 150 g vegan chocolate see blogpost
  • 3 tablespoons plant milk
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup

Chocolate curls

  • 20 g vegan chocolate see blogpost

Garnish

  • dried rose petals

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit (180° Celsius)
  • First, gather all your ingredients and prepare them in the right amounts. That makes it so much easier and more fun and you're less likely to forget anything. 
  • Lightly grease two small springform cake tins (16 cm/ 6 inch) and dust them with flour.
  • Combine dry ingredients and liquid ingredients for the cake well in separate bowls, then mix them together until just combined.
  • Pour the dough into the two cake tins and bake for 50 minutes.
  • Now place the ingredients for the ganache in the double boiler and stir well, until you have a thick ganache. Again, the chocolate shouldn't get warmer then necessary for melting. Put the ganache in the fridge, we want it to turn into a chocolate spread.
  • For the chocolate curls, after melting the chocolate in a double boiler, just spread it out as thin as possible on a cool surface (e.g. the backside of a small baking sheet) and let it cool off in the fridge for 15 minutes, until the chocolate has a matte look. Now carefully roll the chocolate into curls with a spatula. If the chocolate does not roll up nicely, it has not firmed up inside enough and you want to put it back in the fridge for another couple of minutes. It the chocolate just breaks, it's gone too cold. Just wait a few minutes and then try again. Keep the curls in the fridge until you're decorating the cake.
  • When the 50 minutes baking time are over, open the oven door and poke into one of the cakes with a wooden stick. If the dough sticks to it, the cakes still need a few minutes. Otherwise take them out and let them cool off.
  • When they have cooled off - after about 30 minutes - apply the ganache to one cake with a spatula, put the other one on top of it and coat that one as well, including the sides. You can also insert a wooden stick in the middle to make sure the cake stays in place and remove it before serving.

  • Garnish with chocolate curls and dried rose petals and put in the fridge for an hour, so the ganache can firm up.
