Instructions
- Place coconut milk cans in the refrigerator overnight to separate cream from water.
Chocolate Cake Base Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 20cm springform pan with vegan butter and dust with a little flour.
- Prepare the vegan egg replacer according to package instructions (usually mixed with a little water) and set aside for 2–3 minutes to thicken.
- In a bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together the sugar, vanilla sugar, soy milk, oil, and the prepared egg replacer until smooth.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until combined.
- Add the vinegar and mix briefly.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool on a wire rack. Once cooled, place it back in the springform pan (or keep the ring) for assembly.
Strawberry Mousse Layer Instructions
- Refrigerate the canned coconut milk overnight to separate the cream from the water.
- In a pot, cook the frozen strawberries with sugar until soft. Blend into a smooth puree.
- Add the coconut cream to the puree and heat gently to combine. Stir in the strawberry jam.
- Prepare the agar according to package instructions and mix into the strawberry mixture.
- Pour the strawberry mousse over the cake base and refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.
Chocolate Mousse Layer Instructions
- Refrigerate the canned coconut milk overnight to separate the cream from the water.
- Melt the cooking chocolate and dark chocolate together (microwave in short bursts or over a pot of simmering water).
- In a bowl, mix the coconut cream, vegan cooking cream, melted chocolate, and cocoa powder until smooth.
- Prepare the agar according to package instructions and mix it into the chocolate mixture.
- Pour the chocolate mousse over the set strawberry layer and refrigerate until firm.
White Chocolate Mousse Layer Instructions
- Refrigerate the canned coconut milk overnight to separate the cream from the water.
- Melt the vegan white chocolate (microwave in short bursts or over a pot of simmering water).
- In a bowl, mix the coconut cream, melted white chocolate, and vanilla sugar until smooth.
- Prepare the agar according to package instructions and mix it into the white chocolate mixture.
- Pour the white chocolate mousse over the set chocolate layer and refrigerate until firm.
Chocolate ganache Instructions
- Combine the coconut milk and chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth.
- Stir in the cocoa powder. If you want it lighter and creamier, gently fold in the vegan whipped cream.
- Pour ganache over the set mousse and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Decoration Instructions
- Melt the vegan white chocolate and transfer to a piping bag. Cut a small hole at the tip.
- Create a decorative pattern on top of the cake with the melted white chocolate.
- Mix the vegan whipped cream with cocoa powder.
- Use the chocolate whipped cream to decorate the cake as desired.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
- For sharp layers, wait until each layer is lightly set before adding the next.
- Agar sets fast—prepare everything before you mix it in.
- Chilling overnight gives the best stability and cleanest slices.
