Directions
1. To Make the Cake — In a mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients and set aside. In a medium bowl cream together butter and sugar, add yogurt and melted chocolate and beat until smooth. Gently fold in dry the mixture, milk together with a spatula to incorporate. Transfer batter to prepared cake pan. Tap gently against the counter to release air bubbles. Bake at 175c for 25-30 mins or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove pan from the oven and let cool in pan for 10 minutes on a wire rack. Invert cakes onto a rack with parchment paper and cool completely. Divide the cake into 2 even layers.
2. To Make Berry Compote — Place fruit and juice in a small saucepan and bring to medium heat. Once bubbling, reduce heat slightly and use a wooden spoon to muddle and mash the fruit. Continue cooking over medium-low heat for 10-12 minutes, occasionally mashing fruit to combine. Turn off heat and add optional add-ins at this point (cinnamon, ginger, sugar, chia seeds). Remove from heat and transfer to a clean jar or container to cool thoroughly. Store in the fridge up to 1 week or freeze in ice cube molds up to 1 month. Reheat to serve with oats, pancakes, waffles, french toast, and more!
3. To Make the Blue Butterfly Pea Chocolate Mousse — Bring coconut butter to a boil, add maple syrup over the chocolate and whisk until smooth. Add the cold coconut whipping cream and whisk for 2 minutes. Then add Suncore Foods® Blue Butterfly Pea Powder and let it cool. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
4. To Make the White Chocolate Mousse — Bring coconut butter to a boil, add maple syrup over the chocolate and whisk until smooth. Add the cold coconut whipping cream, agar agar powder, and whisk for 2 minutes. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
5. To Make the Glaze — In a sauce pan, add the water, sugar and heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. When mixture begins to simmer, add the condensed milk, corn syrup, agar powder, Suncore Foods® Blue Butterfly Pea Powder, and Suncore Foods® Aqua Blue Spirulina Powder. Keep stirring until agar completely dissolve. Take it off the heat, and whisk in white chocolate until well-mixed. Pass the glaze through a fine strainer to remove any lumps.
