For the icing:
057584 85g Callebaut 811 Bitter Chocolate Callets (70%)
051218 2 Tbsp Cocofresh Coconut Oil
046046 115ml Alpro Almond Milk

Method:
- Mix the chia seed with 5 tablespoons water and leave to emulisify
- Add all of the wet ingredients
- Add the grated carrot
- Mix all the dry ingredients into the mixture
- Place into prepared cake tins and cook at 160c in an 18cm cake ring, 4.5cm high for around 25- 30 minutes.
- Leave to cool
-
- To make the icing, in a small saucepan, gently melt together chocolate, coconut oil and the zest of one orange until smooth and glossy. Remove from heat and slowly stir in the almond milk, vanilla, and almond extract. Mixture will thicken.
- Transfer chocolate mixture to a large bowl. Add cocoa powder and using a hand mixer (or your muscles) blend in 50g of icing sugar at a time until you’ve reached your desired consistency. If the mixture gets too dry, thin it out with a little more almond milk as needed. If the mixture gets too thin, add a little more icing sugar. You should reach a nice thick frosting texture between 200-250g of icing sugar.
- Cover the cooled cake with the icing
