Blackforest Cake

(Serves 4)

Ingredients

• 4 Tony Ferguson Shakes - Chocolate flavoured
• 2 Bars of Tony Ferguson Choclette (milk or dark), 1 ½ chopped into choc chips, ½  shaved
• ¼ Cup Tony Ferguson Fibre
• 3 Tablespoons of pure cocoa powder
• 1 ½ Cup of artificial sweetener
• 2 Tablespoons olive oil
• 1 Egg, beaten
• 5 Teaspoons of vanilla essence
• 1 Teaspoon of baking powder
• 1 ½ Cups of water (room temperature)
• Olive oil spray
• Aluminium foil
• 30 Cherries, halved and seeds removed
• 25 Blueberries
• 1 Tony Ferguson Dessert – Vanilla flavour
• 3 Tablespoons low fat ricotta cheese

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 150°C.
2. In a saucepan, add ½ cup water and ½ cup sweetener. Dissolve the sweetener in the water then add the cherries. Place on medium heat and cook until the cherries become just soft. Then separate the cherries from the syrup.
3. In a large bowl add the shakes, fibre, ¾ cup of sweetener, baking powder, cocoa powder and combine.
4. To the shake mix add the oil, egg, Choclette chopped into choc chips, cooked cherries, blueberries, ½ cup water and 3 teaspoons of vanilla essence and combine well.
5. Obtain a loaf tin, line it with baking paper and give the baking paper a light spray with olive oil spray (if you are using a rubber loaf tin, then you won’t need to use the baking paper, just olive oil spray).
6. Place half the shake mixture into the loaf tin smoothing evenly and cover the top with a sheet of aluminium foil.
7. Bake at 150°C for 15 minutes, check if cooked through but not too dry, if not cooked through bake for a further 5 minutes. Once baked, remove baking paper and cool. Repeat process for the remaining shake mix.
8. Make up the Tony Ferguson Dessert according to directions, allow to cool, then add the ricotta cheese, ¼ cup sweetener, 2 teaspoons of vanilla essence and combine.
9. To make the cake, first softly poke holes using a fork over one side of each cake piece. Then place one cake on a flat plate and pour half the syrup over the side with the holes spreading evenly. Then spread half the dessert and ricotta mix over the cake. Place the other cake piece on top holes poked side up and pour the remaining syrup over it spreading evenly. Spread the remaining dessert and ricotta mix over the cake. Sprinkle shaved chocolate over the cake. Garnish with more berries if desired.
10. Place cake in the fridge to cool until serving.
