Chocolate Creamy Cake

Ingredients:

  • 4 eggs
  • 60g (2.1 oz) carob powder
  • 20g (0.7 oz) cocoa powder
  • 70g (2.5 oz) whole grain spelt flour
  • 2 tbsp coconut blossom sugar
  • 200ml (6.8 fl oz) heavy cream
  • 100g (3.5 oz) dark chocolate
  • Stevia, to taste
  • 2 tbsp sugar-free apricot jam (or jam of choice)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 170°C (338°F).
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until light and frothy.
  3. Sift in the flour, carob powder, cocoa, and coconut sugar, then gently mix until a smooth batter forms.
  4. Spread the batter evenly onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper, keeping it about ½ cm thick.
  5. Bake for 8 minutes, then let it cool.
  6. Cut the baked sponge into cubes, then chop them further into smaller pieces.
  7. In a saucepan, heat the cream and melt the chocolate over low heat (do not boil). Sweeten with stevia to taste.
  8. Pour the warm chocolate mixture over the cake pieces and mix well until fully combined.
  9. Transfer the mixture into a small round cake mold, press it gently to compact, and smooth out the surface.
  10. Spread a thin layer of jam on top.
  11. Refrigerate for at least two hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the cake to set perfectly.
