Mocha Almond Chocolate Waffle Cake

makes 1 6-layer waffle cake

 

Ingredients:

 

Batter:

 

2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour

1/4 cup maple sugar or coconut sugar

1/2 tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp sea salt

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

3 Tbsp ground flax seed, whisked together

1/2 cup plus 1 Tbsp filtered water

2 Tbsp melted avocado oil or coconut oil

1 cup freshly brewed coffee

3/4 cup full-fat coconut milk

1/4 cup Dastony almond butter

 

 

Fudge:

 

1/2 cup Dastony almond butter

1/2 cup maple syrup

1/4 cup cacao powder

pinch sea salt

filtered water as needed

 

 

Mocha Almond Cream:

 

1 15 oz can full-fat coconut milk

1/4 cup Dastony almond butter

3 Tbsp maple syrup

3 Tbsp cacao powder

2 tsp freshly ground espresso

2/3 cup Dastony coconut butter, warmed to liquid

 

 

Topping:

 

toasted almonds

chocolate chips

 

 

Instructions:

Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cayenne, cacao powder, and sea salt in a big basin to make the waffles.

The flax mixture, coconut milk, and coconut oil should be whisked until smooth.

Grease and preheat the waffle maker. After it's warm, close the waffle iron and pour about 1/3 cup of batter onto it, covering it just enough to keep it from oozing.  Cook as directed on the waffle iron package.  Waffles should be removed from the waffle maker and allowed to cool fully on a wire rack.

 

  You might have more than six waffles if your waffle machine is as big as mine (standard Belgian waffles).

 

If so, save six for the recipe and savour the remaining ones!

In a high-speed blender or food processor, puree all ingredients until smooth to make the cream that goes between the waffles.  Transfer into a bowl, pop in the freezer, and whisk every fifteen minutes or so until it thickens into whipped cream this should take approximately forty-five minutes. When it reaches the proper thickness, put it in the fridge until you're ready to build the cake.

 

Mix all the ingredients for the fudge until it's smooth, adding a little purified water if it gets too thick.  It needs to be pourable.

Spoon a waffle onto a dish, then assemble.
