Easy Chocolate Raspberry Cake Recipe

Ingredients:
3 1/4 cups brown rice flour, (or spelt flour)
4 tablespoons tapioca, finely ground
1 tablespoon flax seeds, ground
1 cup cocoa, (unsweetened)
3/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoons baking powder, (double acting)
1/2 cup canola oil
4 tablespoons applesauce, unsweetened
1 3/4 cups maple syrup
1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla extract
14 ounces coconut milk, (or water)
1 cup water
150 grams chocolate, bittersweet, dairy-free, chopped
(about 1 cup when cut)
(or 1 cup dairy-free chocolate chips)

FILLING
20 ounces raspberries, frozen
(or 2 pints fresh raspberries)
(or .5 cup jam mixed with 2 T lemon juice)
1 tablespoon brown rice syrup, (or maple syrup)

GARNISH
20 servings 14-Chocolate Icing, (see recipe)
1 pint fresh raspberries
1 teaspoon citrus zest, in long, thin strips
(from 1 pieces of citrus fruit)
1 teaspoon chocolate, bittersweet, dairy-free, shaved
1/2 cup pecan halves, toasted, glazed

Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Oil and flour two 10 inch round spring form pans (it is also possible to use a 9 inch by 13 inch pan) (for more information refer to the Cake Pan discussion in the "Cake Notes" at the beginning of this chapter).

CAKE
Sift dry ingredients together (except ground flax seed). Stir in ground flax seed. Combine liquids, then stir into the flour mixture. Gently stir in chopped chocolate (or chocolate chips). Pour into the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-40 minutes (longer if using a 9 inch by 13 inch pan).

FILLING
When making a layered cake (using 2 identical sized pans), make the raspberry layer filling by lightly cooking the frozen raspberries with brown rice syrup, adding tablespoons of water as needed.

GARNISH
Once raspberry layer filling has cooked down a bit, and after the cakes have cooled, place the bottom layer of the cake on a serving plate (with parchment paper under the edges), and spread filling over the top of this first layer. Then place the second layer on top of the first, and frost/ice the entire cake. Garnish cake with fresh whole raspberries, citrus zest, shaved chocolate, and toasted, glazed pecans (chopped nuts around the edge and halves for the top).
