Instructions

Step 1
  • For the Avocado and Matcha Tea Cream, first put the cashews in a bowl and cover them with boiling water. Let the nuts soak in the water for 30 min.
Step 2
  • Melt the coconut oil in a small saucepan on a low heat.
Step 3
  • Remove the avocado meat from the shell and stone and put them into a food processor.
Step 4
  • Sieve the water from the cashew nuts and put them in the food processor along with the rest of the ingredients.
Step 5
  • Blend the ingredients until you have a completely smooth and nice green cream.
Step 6
  • Put the cream in a bowl, cover with film and refrigerate to make the cream firmer in texture - about 1 1/2 hours. In the mean time bake the chocolate cake.
Step 7
  • For the chocolate cake, first preheat the oven at 170°C.
Step 8
  • Grease two round 20cm cake moulds with LactoFREE spreadable and coat the base of the moulds with baking paper.
Step 9
  • Mix the almond flour, coconut sugar, cocoa and baking powder together in a bowl.
Step 10
  • Melt the lactose-free butter in a small saucepan.
Step 11
  • Whisk together the melted butter, eggs, maple syrup and vanilla extract in a bowl.
Step 12
  • Fold the dry ingredients together with the wet and stir them together until you get a ball.
Step 13
  • Divide the cake dough into the two moulds and bake for about 25-30 min until the cakes are baked. Test with a bamboo skewer in the middle of the cake. The skewer should come out completely clean and without wet cake dough when the cake is ready.
Step 14
  • Let the cakes cool down for 20 minutes on a baking rack, then refrigerate until the cakes have cooled.
Step 15
  • To assemble the cake, first gently stir the matcha tea cream before smearing it on the cake so that it is completely smooth after cooling.
Step 16
  • Place one cake on a suitable dish. Spread half of the cream on the first cake and spread it nicely all over the bottom with a small palette knife.
Step 17
  • Place the other cake on the cream and spread the remaining cream on top of the cake with the palette knife.
Step 18
  • Sprinkle with extra matcha tea and garnish with lemon balm leaves.
Enjoy!
Tip

The cakes can be baked the day before use and stored in an airtight container on cool.
