INGREDIENT NOTES:
ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR:
- It will also make your cake firm so that it does not break. Gluten-free flour can also be another idea for your use.
UNSWEETENED COCOA POWDER:
- This cocoa powder will give your dessert a delicious chocolate taste. Your dessert will not become too sweet if you use the unsweetened one in your recipe. Another idea for you can be Dutch-processed cocoa.
UNSWEETENED ALMOND MILK:
- We need this milk to make your cake moist and soft. You can also add any other unsweetened plant milk for substitution.
APPLE CIDER VINEGAR:
- You will not have any taste of apple cider vinegar in your dessert. We only need this to react with the baking soda so your dessert bakes properly. Use lemon juice as a substitute.
UNSWEETENED SHREDDED COCONUT:
- Unsweetened shredded coconut will make the main layer for your dessert. It will add a delicious coconut taste. It will also make a good texture for your cake. If you like to add more sweetness, use sweetened shredded coconut for your recipe.
FULL-FAT COCONUT MILK:
- We will use this for the creamy layer in your dessert. It will also make your dessert richer. You can also add light coconut milk instead if you don’t want to make it heavy.
MAPLE SYRUP:
- Your coconut layer will get sweet from using this. You can add agave syrup for substitution as well.
VEGAN CHOCOLATE CHIPS:
- Vegan chocolate chips will make the ganache layer on top of your cake.
