Instruções

Pre-heat the oven at 180C (160-170 with fan). Grease and line an 8-inch cake tin.

Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients. Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Mix until combined.

Bake for around 50 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean from the middle. Cover lightly with foil if the top starts browning. Cool in the tin.

Prepare the frosting by whipping cream cheese and coconut cream together in a bowl. Then, whisk in the remaining ingredients.

Once the cake is cooled, slice the sponge horizontally for two layers. Spread the frosting between layers and on the top. Decorate with raspberries and pistachios.
