📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven to 180°C / 160°C fan / 350°F.
2
Grease a 12-hole muffin tin with coconut oil, then lightly dust with plain white flour.
coconut oil1 tablespoon
3
Place the ground almonds, flour, bicarbonate of soda, fine sea salt and milled flaxseeds into a large bowl and whisk to remove any lumps. Add the maple syrup, soya milk and melted coconut oil; stir until you have a smooth batter.
ground almonds3.5 ozbicarbonate of soda1 teaspoonfine sea salt0.5 teaspoonmilled flaxseeds2.5 tablespoonscoconut oil1 tablespoon
4
Spoon an equal amount into each muffin cup and bake for 12–⏱️ 15 minutes until golden and risen. When you remove them from the oven, use the back of a spoon to flatten the top of each cake, creating the flat surface needed for decorating.
5
While the cakes are in the oven, make the orange curd. Place the cornflour and water into a medium saucepan and whisk until no lumps remain. Then place the saucepan over a medium–high heat and add all of the remaining ingredients. Cook, whisking constantly, for 8–⏱️ 10 minutes to create a smooth, thickened curd. When it’s ready it should coat the back of a spoon. Cover with clingfilm or baking parchment to stop skin forming and set aside to cool.
6
When the cakes and curd are completely cool, it’s time to assemble the cakes. Spoon a small amount of curd into the centre of each cake and spread it out, leaving a small border around the edges. Then top with melted chocolate, spreading it gently to cover the cake and leave to set.
