INSTRUCTIONS 

Chocolate Sponge

  • Preheat the oven to 180C / 350F electric or 160C / 320F fan assisted.
  • In a bowl, combine the dry ingredients – coconut flour, baking powder, cacao powder and sweetener. Make sure there are no lumps.
  • Add the wet ingredients – egg, cream and vanilla extract. Mix well.
  • Stir in the optional chocolate chips and let the batter rest for a minute.
  • Bake in a well-greased ramekin for 20 minutes or until you can insert and remove a skewer without crumbs sticking. Do not over bake as it will firm up as it cools.

Amarena Sauce

  • Add all the ingredients to a non stick saucepan. Simmer for about 3 minutes or until all liquid has evaporated and the sauce has thickened, pressing the berries + cherries with back of spatula. Optional: stir in a pinch of ground chia seeds. Allow to cool and thicken.

Whipped cream

  • In a separate bowl, blend the double cream, optional sweetener and vanilla until firm but not super stiff.

Assembly

  • Slice the cake in half horizontally. Spread the base with amarena sauce and top with a layer of cream. Add the top of the cake and pipe on the rest of the cream. Top with optional grated chocolate and a fresh cherry.
