Ingredients
11 ingredients- 140 g pastry flour or plain flour
- 20 g almonds, finely ground
- 20 g hazelnuts, finely ground
- 60 g unsweetened cacao powder
- 50 g cacao butter
- 50 g neutral vegetable oil
- 200 g unsweetened plant milk, such as soya milk
- 170 g maple syrup
- 1 tsp finely grated orange zest
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
Method
10 steps- Preheat the oven to 160°C. Grease and line a small cake tin with baking paper.
- Melt the cacao butter gently in a heatproof bowl over barely simmering water or in short microwave intervals. Leave it to cool slightly.
- Combine the flour, ground almonds, ground hazelnuts, cacao powder and baking powder in a large mixing bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted cacao butter, vegetable oil, plant milk, maple syrup, orange zest and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients.
- Mix only until the batter is smooth and no pockets of dry flour remain.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared tin and smooth the surface.
- Bake at 160°C for approximately 50 minutes, until the cake is set and a skewer inserted near the centre emerges with only a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the cake to cool in the tin for 15 minutes.
- Remove it carefully and leave it on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Additional tips
- Contains wheat, gluten, almonds and hazelnuts. Contains soya when made with soya milk. Check that the chocolate and other packaged ingredients are certified dairy-free if required.
