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.
