DELICIOUSLY FUDGEY – THIS CAKE IS A MUST TRY 🙂
What makes this cake outstanding is its deliciously fudgey texture, which is delicious served chilled or warmed. It’s also got chunks of mandarin through it for a bit of added texture. The chilli & lime flavour comes from the use of Cocavo Chilli & Lime – this product is a blend of extra virgin coconut and avocado oils, infused with natural chilli and lime flavours. It of course gives the cake its unique flavour and fudgey texture and is a very good source of plant-based fats. Give this cake a shot – you know you’re curious to try.
Bet you’ve never tried a mandarin, chilli & lime cake before – but let me tell you, this flavour combo is GOOD.
