For the Cake:
Instructions
-
Make the truffle layer. Put the hot water, gelatin and coffee extract in a blender and puree until smooth. Add the coconut oil and blend again.
-
Add the okra and blend until completely smooth. Add the remaining truffle ingredients except the optional whey powder and blend until well combined and perfectly smooth. Add the whey and blend for only 10 more seconds. Pour the truffle mix into a shallow dish and refrigerate.
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a 10-inch Bundt pan with coconut oil spray.
-
Make the cake. Combine the Baking Blend, cocoa, salt, baking powder and soda, and sweeteners in a medium bowl. Combine the whole eggs and egg whites, coconut oil, vanilla, and coffee in a food processor or blender and process for 20 seconds. Add the dry mixture and pulse to combine (don’t over process).
-
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35 minutes. Put a dish of water in the oven while baking to create a steaming effect. Cool the cake, then remove from the pan.
-
Place the cake on a cake stand or large plate and horizontally slice it in half, lifting the top half off. Spread a thick layer of the mint truffle on the bottom layer, then put the top back on. Sprinkle the cake with a light dusting of Gentle Sweet. Keep cake refrigerated.
