For the cake you’ll need:
275g plain flour
280g brown sugar
55g castor sugar
50g Dutch processed cocoa powder
1 1/2 tsp Baking soda
1 1/2 tsp Baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
250ml coconut milk/regular milk
1 1/2 tsp Apple Cider vinegar
60g unsalted butter
60ml vegetable/canola oil
2 eggs
2 tps vanilla extract
200ml water + 2 tsp instant coffee granules
Frosting:
Whipped cream (according to your preference)
Cherry liqueur (optional and according to preference)
Chocolate shavings
250g fresh cherries
Method:
1. Preheat your oven to 175°C and grease and line three 7 inch round cake pans. In a large bowl mix the coffee into the warm water, add the oil and melted unsalted butter and mix well.
2. Add both the sugars and whisk well, then add the eggs one by one, mixing after each addition. Then add your vanilla.
3. In a separate bowl, sift your flour, cocoa, salt, baking powder and baking soda then add this to your wet mixture in three stages alternating with the milk. Lastly add the vinegar.
4. Bake your cakes for about 25 minutes, keep checking after 20. Let the cakes cool on a wire rack before taking them out of the pan.
5. Brush your cakes with the cherry liqueur and layer them up with freshly whipped cream and chopped cherries (you can also use canned cherries) add some chocolate shavings and voila!
6. Refrigerate the cake for about an hour and serve!
