Ingredients

1 1/2 cup hazelnut flour
1/4 cup coconut sugar
6 tablespoon cacao powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3 eggs
1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp coconut milk
8 tablespoon butter, melted
1/2 cup dark chocolate chunks (70 percent cocoa is best)
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (or coconut milk)
2 tablespoon kahlua coffee liqueur
6 ounce fresh blackberries
8 ounce mascarpone
2 tablespoon raw honey

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Generously grease mini heart baking pans with butter.
To make the cakes, whisk together eggs and coconut milk in a mixing bowl. Sift in dry ingredients. Pour in melted butter, stirring to form a smooth batter.
Spoon into baking pans filling half way full.
Bake for 10-12 minutes — cake can still be slightly gooey in the middle. Cool for about 5 minutes, running a knife around the edges to remove from pan.
While the cakes are baking, make the chocolate ganache.
To assemble heart layered cakes, place one mini cake on the bottom of plate.
Scoop blackberry cream on top, using a spatula to gently smooth. Place second cake on top.
Drizzle with warm chocolate ganache.
Over low heat, slowly melt chocolate. Whisk in cream and Kahlua. Continue stirring until creamy and smooth. Allow to cool for about 3-5 minutes to thicken.
Purée the blackberries and honey. Use a spatula to fold in mascarpone cream. Blend thoroughly. Chill in refrigerator for 20 minutes or until time to assemble cakes.
