I wanted to make a treat that was a little more nutritious, so I used spelt flour and coconut sugar to replace the regular flour and cane sugar. And the coconut whipped cream is a great alternative to making a sugary frosting.
You'll need:
- A recipe for chocolate cake - I usually go with the PPK recipe, but use spelt flour and coconut sugar.
- Fresh cherries
- Coconut whipped cream - this post from Oh, Ladycakes will break it down for ya
- Chocolate Ganache (heat 1/3 cup almond milk, then remove from heat and add 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup, and mix until smooth & glossy)
Bake the cakes in cupcake tins, or muffin tins if you want bigger cakes.
Cut the cakes in half, then spread on a layer of ganache, a layer of halved cherries, then the whipped cream. Add the top half of the cake, then top with more whipped cream, ganache, and a whole cherry. :D
