Ingredients

Sponge cake

Raspberry chia jam

Mousse

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180C. Line a 15cm cake tin with baking paper.

To make the sponge:

  • Add the dry ingredients to a bowl and mix until combined. Add all the wet ingredients except the aquafaba and mix until combined.
  • Whisk the aquafaba in a small bowl with a fork until slightly bubbly (around 30 seconds). Add the aquafaba to the sponge batter and mix until combined. Pour the batter into the cake tin. Bake for 20 minutes or until a skewer can be inserted and comes out clean.
  • When the sponge is baked, remove from the tin to cool. Trim the top of the cake to create a flat surface then return the cake to the cake tin.

To make the chia jam:

  • Add all ingredients to a small bowl and mash the berries with a fork. Mix the ingredients and and spread it on the surface of the sponge cake.

To make the mousse:

  • Drain the cashews and add to high-powered blender with ½ of the coconut cream, rice malt syrup and dragon fruit powder. Whizz until extremely smooth and set aside.
  • Add the other ½ of the coconut cream and agar agar powder to a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the mixture to the blender and pulse the blender until the ingredients are combined.
  • Pour the mousse into the cake tin on top of the layer of chia jam. Place it in the fridge to set for at least 30 minutes

To make the jelly:

  • When the mousse has set and is firm to the touch, start making the jelly layer. Add the agar powder and 1 cup of water to a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Remove from the heat and stir in syrup and dragon fruit powder. Pour the jelly mixture onto the mousse layer and place it in the fridge to set.

To serve:

  • Remove the cake from the fridge and cake tin. Cut the cake with a sharp knife. The cake will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days.
