Method
Tap a time to watch that step in the video.
- Heat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease an 8-inch (20 cm) round cake pan, line the base with baking paper and grease the paper. 1:47
- Melt the chopped chocolate and coconut oil in a large heatproof bowl over barely simmering water, stirring often. Take the pan off the heat but leave the bowl over the warm water. 2:15
- Stir in the Swerve, vanilla, espresso powder and salt. Add the eggs and, as the mixture thickens, quickly add the coconut cream; whisk until smooth. Whisk in the cocoa powder until no lumps remain. 2:55
- Spread in the pan and bake 15–20 minutes, until the edges are set and the centre is barely firm. Don't overbake. Cool 30 minutes, then turn out onto a plate and peel off the paper. 4:49
- For the glaze, bring the coconut cream to a simmer, take off the heat, add the chopped chocolate and leave 5 minutes. Whisk in the powdered Swerve, allulose and vanilla until smooth. 6:06
- Let the glaze thicken a few minutes, pour it over the cake and spread with a spatula. Refrigerate 20 minutes to set, then slice with a warm knife. 7:10
Tip. For a dairy version, use melted butter instead of coconut oil and heavy cream instead of coconut cream. Keeps 3 days covered or a week in the fridge. A few fresh berries go well on the side.

Vitamin B126%
0.1 µg a serve, mostly from eggs (100%). Keeps nerves and blood cells healthy. Found almost only in animal foods and fortified foods (some plant milks, nutritional yeast), so vegans need a reliable source.
Potassium5%
220 mg a serve, mostly from unsweetened chocolate (36%). Balances sodium to help control blood pressure and keeps muscles and nerves working. Beans, potatoes, leafy greens and fruit are rich sources.
Folate3%
13 µg a serve, mostly from eggs (42%). Needed to make DNA and new cells — especially important before and in early pregnancy. Legumes and leafy greens are rich sources.
Calcium2%
25 mg a serve, mostly from unsweetened chocolate (37%). Builds bones and teeth and helps muscles and nerves work. Dairy, calcium-set tofu, sardines with their bones and some greens supply it.
Vitamin A2%
19 µg a serve, mostly from eggs (100%). Keeps eyes, skin and the immune system healthy. Orange vegetables and dark greens give beta-carotene, which the body turns into vitamin A.
Vitamin B62%
0 mg a serve, mostly from eggs (52%). Helps turn food into energy and make brain messengers. Chickpeas, fish, poultry, potatoes and bananas are good sources.
Vitamin D1%
0.3 µg a serve, mostly from eggs (100%). Helps you absorb calcium for bones and supports muscles. Few foods have much — oily fish, eggs, UV-exposed mushrooms, fortified milks. Sunlight is the main source.
Vitamin E1%
0.2 mg a serve, mostly from eggs (58%). An antioxidant that protects cell membranes. Nuts, seeds and plant oils such as olive oil are the main sources.
Vitamin K1%

Omega-31%
0 g a serve, mostly from eggs (67%). Omega-3 fats support the heart and brain. Oily fish give EPA and DHA; walnuts, flax, chia and canola give ALA, which the body converts only a little.
Vitamin C0%
0.3 mg a serve, mostly from coconut cream (57%). An antioxidant needed for collagen, immunity and iron absorption. Long cooking destroys some, so raw herbs, citrus and capsicum help.
