Preparation
Step 1: Mix Coconut Milk and Vinegar
Pour coconut milk and vinegar into the bowl of a mixer. Mix until combined and let it sit for 5 minutes to create vegan kefir. Then add olive oil and mix.
Step 2: Add Remaining Cake Ingredients
In another bowl, sift both types of flour. Add xylitol, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix and add to the bowl with the wet ingredients. Mix until a smooth dough forms.
Step 3: Bake the Cake
Line a cake pan with parchment paper. Pour the batter into it and bake for about 50 minutes in an oven preheated to 180°C. Check with a toothpick if it’s done. After baking, let it cool.
Step 4: Heat Coconut Milk with Xylitol
In a saucepan, bring to a simmer a cup of coconut milk mixed with xylitol over low heat.
Step 5: Add Remaining Coconut Milk and Xylitol
In a cup, combine the remaining coconut milk with potato starch. Add to the simmering ingredients. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat.
Step 6: Add Remaining Cream Ingredients
Add coconut flakes and lime juice. Mix everything and let it cool.
Step 7: Assemble the Cake
Spread the cream over the cake. Peel the mango and slice it. Roll each slice into a cone and place it on the cream. Garnish with mint leaves and crushed almond flakes.
