Chocolate Mint cake with Pandan

Soak the almonds and cashews in cold water the day before.

Knead the flour, margarine, sugar, coconut flour, cocoa powder, coconut milk and a pinch of salt into a smooth dough.

Wrap the dough in foil and let it rest in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 175ºC.

Roll out the dough into a thin slice and line a greased baking pan with the dough. Bake the base for about 15 minutes and let it cool down outside the refrigerator.

For the chocolate layer, mix all ingredients in a food processor to a coarse mass and spread evenly over the bottom of the cake, covere it and put it in the refrigerator.

Drain the soaked nuts, put them in a food processor together with the coconut paste, coconut yogurt, mint and pandan and mash until smooth.

Divide the mint filling over the chocolate layer and smooth the top. Melt the chocolate au bain-marie and spread on the mint filling with a spoon.

Let the chocolate harden and cut the cake into wedges. Serve with La Vida Vegan almond paste.
