Directions
Pre-heat your oven to 160f Fan/180f Standard /350F
Make your gloop using the recipe 40g/ml of oil, shortening and gluten-free flour plus 2 tbsp cocoa powder. Use a hand blender or hand whisk whisk until a smooth paste has formed
- Paint the gloop on the inside of the bundt tin and set aside
- Make up your 180 ml coffee if using and set aside
Add the gluten-free flour, Xathan Gum (If Using), Baking Powder, Baking Soda, salt and Cocoa Powder to a bowl whisk and then Sieve into a large bowl
In another medium bowl add the yogurt , milk , coffee, Apple cider vinegar, Vanilla Bean Paste whisk until combined
Add 80g chopped chocolate to the batter and fold in
Fill the bundt tin with the mixture (it will be thick). Smooth it and give it a waggle to make sure there are no air pockets
- Place in the centre of the oven for 50 minutes and bake until a cocktail stick or cake tester comes out with just a few crumbs
- Take out and let rest IN THE TIN for at least 30 minutes before turning out
- Leave to cool
- To make the chocolate ganache, chop the chocolate into small pieces , heat the dairy free milk on the hob or in the microwave til steaming hot
- Pour the milk over the chopped chocolate and leave for minute
Then whisk the milk and chocolate. It may seem grainy at first but keep whisking it will become smooth
Drizzle over the top of the bundt cake (as artistically as you can manage)
- Melt the remainder of the chocolate in the microwave ( 10 second bursts ) or over a bowl of simmering water until melted
Smooth out over an upside down baking tray and leave to start to harden. When it is finger touch dry use a dinning knife to scrape shards
- Liberally sprinkle the shards on the top of the cake
- Enjoy
