Coffee Sponge:
Chocolate Sponge:
Dark Chocolate Buttercream:
- 225g Butter
- 225g Caster Sugar
- 4 Eggs
- 225g Gluten Free Self-Raising Flour
- 1tsp Baking Powder
- 1/4tsp Xanthan Gum
Vanilla Sponge:
- 1tsp Vanilla Extract
Coffee Sponge:

Method:
- Preheat the oven to 160 degrees fan/ 180 degrees/ 350 Fahrenheit and line and grease two 20cm cake tins.
- Soften the butter in the microwave and mix with the sugar until pale and fluffy.
- Mix in your eggs one at a time fully combining each time.
- Mix in your GF flour, baking powder and xanthan gum until combined and a batter is formed.
- Split the batter into 3 bowls and mix in vanilla extract to one, dissolved coffee to another and cocoa powder to the final one.
- Dollop the different mixtures into the cake tins randomly. Then to create the marble effect, run a skewer through the mixtures in the cake tins, be careful not to over mix them, you still want to keep the definition in colours between the batters!
- Bake for 17-20 minutes until a skewer comes out clean when inserted into the centre of the sponges and leave to cool.
- Now make the dark chocolate buttercream by breaking Enjoy 70% Dark Chocolate into pieces and and placing into a heatproof bowl onto of a saucepan of gently boiling water, heat until melted, stirring occasionally. Once fully melted, set aside to cool.
- Soften the butter in the microwave and mix with the icing sugar. Until pale and smooth.
- Add the melted, cooled Enjoy 70% Dark Chocolate and beat until fully combined.
- When the cake sponges are cool, remove from the tin and spread all of the Enjoy 70% Dark Chocolate buttercream onto one of the layers, then place the other sponge layer onto.
- Dig in and enjoy!
