Instructions

1. Note: 12-24 hours prior to making the cake, start to prepare the icing. Mix together yoghurt, pureed strawberries and the two tablespoons of honey, and spoon into a colander lined with a couple of layers of muslin. Place colander over a bowl and refrigerate until a thick consistency.
2. Preheat oven to 175C and line a cake tin with baking paper.
3. Pour oil and Natvia into a mixing bowl and whisk until slightly frothy.
4. Add eggs, vanilla extract, honey, baking powder and coconut cream, and mix well.
5. Slowly stir in sifted flour and cacao until well combined. If mixture is too dry, add another tablespoon of coconut cream.
6. Spoon mixture into tin and bake for 18 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
7. Remove and allow to cool on a wire rack. Once cooled, remove yoghurt mixture from the fridge and check flavour, adding additional sweetener if required. Spoon yoghurt mixture over the cake or use a piping bag.
8. Cooking tip: If you haven’t had time to drain the yoghurt and strawberry mixture, you could substitute the yoghurt for reduced-fat cream cheese.
