Ingredients
  

  • 250 g all-purpose flour
  • 50 g cocoa powder
  • 3 tsp espresso powder
  • 120 g granulated sugar
  • 1 packet vanilla sugar (about 1 tbsp)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 300 ml strongly carbonated mineral water
  • 90 ml neutral oil (like rapeseed or canola)
  • 600 g vegan whipping cream
  • 400 g dark vegan chocolate (chopped)
  • 100 g fresh berries (blueberries, blackberries)
  • 1 tbsp chocolate shavings

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • 26 cm springform pan
  • Saucepan

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) for top/bottom heat or 160°C (320°F) for fan setting; grease a 26 cm springform pan.
  2. Whisk together dry ingredients: flour, cocoa, espresso powder, sugar, vanilla sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Make a well in the center of the dry mixture and pour in the mineral water and oil; mix gently until combined.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top; bake for 20-25 minutes until the top springs back and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
  5. Let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  6. While the cake cools, prepare the ganache by placing chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl; heat vegan whipping cream in a saucepan until just bubbling, then pour it over the chocolate and let sit for 5 minutes.
  7. Stir the chocolate and cream mixture until it’s smooth and homogeneous; cover and chill for at least 2 hours.
  8. Once cooled, slice the cake horizontally into two layers; whip the chilled ganache until light and fluffy.
  9. Spread ganache on the bottom layer, place the top layer on, and frost the top and sides with the remaining ganache; decorate with fresh berries and chocolate shavings.
