Ingredients:

• 200g coconut cream
• 200g dark chocolate, suitable for baking
• 150 g plain Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt of your choice
• 220g finely ground almonds
• 30g cocoa powder
• 120g light brown sugar
• 75g cornstarch
• 2 teaspoons of baking powder
• A pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 170°C in fan mode.
2. Prepare an 8-inch springform pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
3. Bring the coconut cream to the boil.
4. In a large bowl, pour the hot coconut cream over the chocolate and leave for 5 minutes to melt.
5. Stir until smooth, then stir in the sugar and yogurt until well combined.
6. Gently stir in the almond meal, cocoa powder, cornstarch, baking powder and salt until just combined.
7. Transfer the dough to the prepared pan.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes. The cake is ready when the center is slightly springy to the touch and an inserted toothpick comes out with a little moist batter.
9. Let the cake cool completely in the pan. It can be served hot, but it's easier to slice once it's completely cooled.
10. Before serving, sprinkle with icing sugar and garnish with fresh raspberries.

Enjoy this deliciously indulgent chocolate experience!
