Ingredients

For the Chocolate Cake:

  • 2 1/2 cups self-rising flour
  • 1/2 cup dark cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups dairy-free milk + 1 teaspoon vinegar
  • 1/3 cup dairy-free yogurt
  • 1/3 cup light olive oil
  • 2 shots of espresso for soaking

For the Vegan Mascarpone Filling:

  • 1 cup cashews soaked in hot water
  • 1/2 cup coconut cream
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

Make the mascarpone:

  • Soak the cashews in hot water for 30 minutes in a large bowl.
  • After soaking, drain the cashews and place them in a blender along with the coconut cream, lemon juice, and powdered sugar.
  • Blend until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and let the mascarpone chill in the fridge until set—overnight works best!

Make the cake:

  • Preheat your oven to 340°F (170°C).
  • Line two 8-inch round cake pans.
  • Mix the dairy-free milk with the vinegar and set it aside to thicken and curdle.
  • Once curdled, add the rest of the wet ingredients. Sift in the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the two pans and bake for 20-25 minutes. Let the cakes cool completely.
  • Use a fork to gently poke holes in the cooled cakes, then pour the espresso over them. Let the cakes soak for 30 minutes.
  • Layer the cakes with the chilled mascarpone cream and finish with a dusting of cocoa powder on top.
