Janine's Vegan Chocolate Raspberry Cake and Frosting - Thermie and Friends

Edit

Recipe's preparation

To make the cakes

Preheat Oven to 180 degrees C.

Grease and line 2 x 20cm cake tins

Place your tin of coconut cream in the fridge the night before (see notes on icing)

Place milk and vinegar in TM Bowl and mix 2 mins speed 1

Add sugar, coconut oil and vanilla and mix 45 seconds speed 4

Add flour, cocoa, baking powder, bicarb and salt and mix 20 secs speed 5, scrape down sides and mix again 20 secs speed 5

Add choc chips and mix in either with spatula or 10 secs speed 3 on reverse

Divide mixture between cake tins and press the frozen raspberries into the mix. Bake for approx 30 mins or until cooked. Let cool in tin and cool completely on rack before icing.

Icing - ganache and frosting

It is a little hard to guess the quantity of the icing that this will make as it depends on the brand and quality of your coconut cream (use a good quality one for the best results)

Leave tin of coconut cream in fridge over night (hopefully you have done this already). The next day scrape out the coconut cream solids and discard the liquid in the tin (or keep to make something else with the liquid - we dont use it in this recipe)

NB if your tin didnt separate then that coconut cream will not be suitable for this recipe

Place hardened cream into TM Bowl and weigh.

Add Choc chips to the mixture (the amount will depend on the weight of the cream)

I add an extra 1/3 of the weight of the cream in choc chips (for examnple if you have 150g cream then use 200g choc chips)

Mix in TM Bowl 5 mins, 50 degrees speed 3

(you may need to scrape 1/2 way through to ensure it is all melted)

Let the ganache cool slightly and pour some on the top of the cake.

Reserve the rest and put in a container in the fridge overnight to make the frosting for the middle

The next day put the reserved ganche mixture back in the TM Bowl and whip with your butterfly 30 seconds speed 4 or until it changes to a lighter colour and a fluffier consistency.

Spread the top of the bottom cake with raspberry jam and then use the fluffy icing to connect the cakes together

Enjoy!
