Cake recipe:
- Heat the oven to 350F.

- Then add the maple syrup, vanilla essence and almond milk, and mix well on low speed. You'll get a slightly frothy mix.
- In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and salt, and leave aside.
- Now add the flour and baking powder mix to the prepared wet mix and blend on medium speed until you get a cake batter of dropping consistency.
- Pour the batter in the greased cake tin (you can add some roasted almonds on top if you like).
- Bake in the pre-heated oven for thirty five (35) to forty (40) minutes.
- Take the cake out of the tin and let it cool on a wire rack while you prepare the frosting.
To prepare the frosting:
- Over a double boiler, melt the chocolate chips together with the dairy free margarine.
- Remove from the heat, then add the icing sugar and allow it to dissolve.
- Add the almond milk, vanilla essence and cocoa powder and mix well. If the frosting is too thick then add a touch more almond milk.
To decorate and assemble the cake:
- Cut the cake in 2 even layers horizontally.
- Spread the frosting over the bottom layer of the cake and place the other layer on top of it.
- Cover the whole cake with the remaining frosting.
- Place the mixed fruit jam in the piping bag and decorate the cake.
