Preparation Steps

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 180°C (top/bottom heat, no fan).

2. Prepare the Cake Batter:

• In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients.

• In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients (boiling water and cocoa mix with olive oil and apple juice concentrate). Let sit briefly, then add to the dry mixture and stir well.

• Add apple cider vinegar and quickly mix again.

• Divide the batter among three identical cake pans if possible for even baking, or use one large pan if preferred.

3. Bake the Cake Layers: Bake each layer (or whole cake) for 30–35 minutes, then let cool.

4. Make the Cream: In a food processor, blend the sweet potato or pumpkin puree, dates, avocado, cocoa powder, apple juice concentrate (if using), vanilla powder, salt, and almond milk as needed for spreadable consistency.

5. Assemble the Cake: Lightly moisten each cake layer with water if desired, then spread with chocolate cream. Add toppings of your choice, like chocolate chips, bananas, strawberries, etc., between layers.
