  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  • In a food processor, add the dry ingredients for the base and process until a flour-like consistency.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture and process until it starts to stick together.
  • Press the crust mixture into a 20cm round tin firmly and evenly to form the base.
  • In a high-speed blender, blend all ingredients for the chocolate layer (except cocoa butter) until smooth, then add melted cocoa butter and blend again.
  • Pour the chocolate filling into the tin over the base and smooth the top; freeze overnight.
  • For the frosting, mix cacao powder, agave syrup, and melted coconut oil until smooth. Set some aside for garnish.
  • Pour the frosting on top of the frozen chocolate layer and smooth it out before returning it to the freezer for another 30-40 minutes.
  • Once set, unmold the cake and let it thaw for 30-40 minutes for easy cutting. Decorate with reserved chocolate filling, frosting, and kumquats.

Notes

This cake is perfect for celebrations or as a unique dessert for gatherings. To add a boozy flavor, consider infusing the orange zest with Grand Marnier. Feel free to experiment with different nuts in the base or adjust the sweetness with alternative sweeteners. Store leftovers in the freezer for up to 2 months or in the fridge for up to 1 week. For a sophisticated look, garnish with pomegranate arils and a drizzle of dark chocolate sauce.
