Instructions
  1. Pre-heat oven to 180ºC. Grease and line two 8-inch cake tins with flora plant butter, parchment paper rounds and flour.
  2. Beat together the Flora and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the yoghurt and vanilla and mix to combine.
  3. Sift together flour, baking powder in a bowl.
  4. Alternate adding ? ? of the flour mixture followed by ½ of the oat milk using a spatula. Repeat having done 3 additions of dry, 2 wet and always finishing with the dry.
  5. Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans. Smooth the top and tap on the counter to remove any large air bubbles.

  8. In a large bowl, add the butter and cream cheese; beat together until smooth. Add the icing sugar ½ cup at a time to make a smooth frosting. Add the vanilla and beat together. Set aside until ready to use
  9. To make the ganache, heat the coconut cream in the microwave or in a pot until just steaming. Pour the cream over the chocolate and let sit for 30 seconds. Stir to combine from the middle out to make a smooth ganache, set aside to cool so it’s spreadable but not too thick.
  10. Cut each cake layer in half horizontally so you now have 4 layers.
  11. Place a small amount of icing on a cake plate and then one layer of cake. Brush with the coffee syrup then top spread a layer of mascarpone icing.
