\/><\/a><\/p>\n<h1>METHOD:<\/h1>\n<h1>CAKE SPONGE<\/h1>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preheat the oven to 180\u00b0C. Spray or coat the two 19cm tins with oil and parchment paper hanging over on both sides.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heat the coconut oil and milk until the coconut oil has melted. Let it cool.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a large bowl whisk the eggs until foamy about 1 minute then add the salt.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gradually add the coconut sugar and brown rice syrup while whisking. Wisk until light, about 4 minutes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mix the flour and baking powder together and then sieve onto a piece of parchment paper.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whisk the egg mixture on low speed and gradually add the dry ingredients including the toasted coconut to the egg mixture using the parchment paper to help guide it into the bowl. The batter should be thick with no lumps.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beat in vanilla extract and milk mixture until just combined. Don\u2019t over mix.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pour equal amounts of batter into the two tins (using a kitchen scale makes it easier). Tap the tins on the kitchen surface to even out the batter in the tin.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let the cake cool down for 10 minutes before lifting out of the tin using the parchment paper hanging on both sides. Let it cool down completely before frosting. If you want to frost the next day cling wrap the cakes and store in the fridge, this will prevent the cake from drying out.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h1><strong>FROSTING<\/strong><\/h1>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Cool the coconut milk cans in the fridge, preferably overnight and soak the raw cashews either in cold water overnight or boiling water for at least 4 hours.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Without shaking the coconut milk cans that have been cooled overnight, scoop out the cream on the top of the water in the can into a blender or food processor.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Add the soaked cashews, syrup and vanilla powder and blend until smooth. Switch to low speed and gradually add the melted but cooled coconut butter and coconut oil. Blend on high speed for a further 1-2 minutes until smooth with no lumps.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pour into a bowl and cover before placing it in the freezer for 1-2 hours to set. Then take out and store in the fridge until you need to use it.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h1><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>ASSEMBLY<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/h1>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Use a bread knife to cut each layer into even layers. Place the first layer on the cake stand or plate.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spread a layer of frosting with the center being thicker and the edges thinner. Once you place the next layer of cake on, gently press down to even out the layer of frosting.\u00a0 Continue this process with each layer.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before frosting the outside of the cake, insert wooden skewers in the cake to help keep the cake structurally strong. Put the cake in the fridge for 15-30 minutes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the frosting between the layers has cooled and set. Start frosting the outside using a palette knife or spatula.
