Vegan chocolate coffee marble cake
Ingredients
- 100g rice flour
- 80g cornflour
- 40g ground almonds
- 1 tsp. baking powder (gluten-free)
- 1 tsp. bicarbonate of soda
- 1/2 tsp. xanthan gum*
- 80g cane sugar
- 25g cocoa powder
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp. chia seeds (finely ground)
- 15g maple syrup + 30g
- 60g rapeseed oil or a neutral extra virgin olive oil
- 60g coconut cream
- 3 Tbsp. of coffee dissolved in water
Method
-
Grease a loaf pan and preheat your oven to 180°C.
Cover the chia seeds with water and let them sit for about 5 minutes.
-
In a large bowl whisk together the dry ingredients except for the cocoa which will be added later.
-
In a separate medium bowl, stir the oil, coconut cream and maple syrup (15gr). Add thechia seeds and keep stirring until well blended (the chia seeds tend to form little lumps!)
-
Mix the dry and wet ingredients together.
-
Divide the mixture into 2 equal portions and place in 2 different bowls. Flavour the 1st bowl with the vanilla extract.
-
In the 2nd bowl, add the cocoa, coffee, remaining maple syrup (30g) and mix.
-
Using two spoons, pour the 2 mixtures into your loaf pan alternating between the vanilla mixture and the coffee/chocolate mixture. Next, insert a skewer or the end of a spoon into the batter and create big swirls all over the cake being careful not to overmix like I often do!
-
Place in the oven and bake for about 35 minutes or until golden. A skewer should come out clean.
-
Take the cake out of the oven and cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and wait some more (willpower!) until completely cool, then slice it and check out if you got the marble effect!
