Yield 2

Ingredients

  • 200 g margarine, very soft
  • 400 g white granulated sugar
  • 75 g dried grated coconut
  • Zest of a lemon or grated ginger
  • 250 ml soy milk, cold
  • 750 g flour
  • 150 g soy flour
  • 2 sachets (40 g) baking powder
  • 6 pinches vanilla powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 100 g unsweetened cocoa powder

Instructions

  1. 1
    Beat all wet ingredients together for 10 minutes until creamy, adding the soy milk gradually to the other ingredients.
  2. 2
    Combine all dry ingredients, then sift loosely to aerate and remove lumps.
  3. 3
    Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  4. 4
    Add the wet mixture and the add-ins to the dry mixture. Stir briefly until smooth. Do not over-mix, since this will cause the batter to deflate and become tough.
  5. 5
    Spread the batter in a large baking pan lined with baking paper.
  6. 6
    Bake for 20 minutes. Turn off the oven, and let the cake continue cooking in the residual heat for 15 minutes. Let cool.
  7. 7
    Unmold the cake from the pan, and remove the baking paper.
  8. 8
    Melt the chocolate couverture over a double boiler. Spread the melted chocolate on top of the cake, then sprinkle with grated coconut.
  9. 9
    Sprinkle the still soft couverture with grated coconut.
