Directions
To make the cake: Preheat oven to 150 cup
Combine almond meal, cacao, coconut sugar and baking powder.
Add the eggs, melted butter or coconut oil and milk then mix well to form a smooth batter.
Spoon into a 20 cm round baking tin that you have lined with baking paper to prevent sticking.
Bake for 40 minutes or until just cooked through. The cake may be a little moist inside - this is desirable.
To make the ganache: (The key to making a ganache is to keep the heat low and take time to melt the chocolate and warm the cream. Everything should be done slowly and gently.)
Warm the cream in a pot over a gentle heat – do not boil.
Melt the chocolate slowly in a bowl over a simmering pot of water.
Remove the cream and chocolate from the stove.
Pour the cream in gently into the melted chocolate – incorporating with a spoon or whisk until smooth and creamy.
Add a pinch of sea salt. Cool your ganache at room temperature for about 2 hours until set.
Spread the ganache over the cake.
