Dark Chocolate Forest Fruit Cake

Ingredients

  • Ingredients 1 1/2 cup oat flour 1/4 cup starch (I used potato starch) 1/2 cup cocoa powder 1 cup apple puree (2 cored apples blended) 1/2 cup berry juice (i.e cranberry juice)* 1/2 tsp pure stevia 1 heaped cup of mixed frozen berries- for top (use frozen so the fruit does not burn)

Preparation

  • Preparation Serves 4 – 6. Method Blend the apples until smooth, add the stevia and cocoa powder. Mix through the flour and starch and lastly the juice to form a smooth thick batter. Spoon the batter into a 8″ cake tin and roughly smooth the top. Pile the frozen berries on top of the batter and lightly press. Bake at 180C for approx 35 minutes- check the cake after 20 minutes and if the top is already golden but centre still requires extra time, loosely cover for the final 15 minutes or so. Serve hot or cold, with custard or cream (vegan of course)! *Note: I used apple juice the first time it is tasted slightly too appley for my taste but was still fine. I would suggest using a berry juice to compliment the berries on top.
