½ cup (125mL) milk or nut milk
½ cup (125mL) pure maple syrup
6 eggs
½ cup (110g) CSR Raw Caster Sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 160°C. Line 2 x 20cm (8 inch) round cake tins with non-stick baking paper.
In a large bowl add oil, milk, maple, eggs, sugar and vanilla into a bowl and whisk to combine.
Sift the baking powder and cocoa over the milk mixture. Add the almond meal and mix to combine. Pour mixture into prepared tins, smoothing the surface.
Bake for 30–35 minutes until cooked when tested with a skewer. Cool in tins for 10 minutes then turn out onto wire racks to cool.
To make the chocolate frosting, mix together the cashew butter and maple. Sift over the cocoa powder and stir to combine. Add enough milk to make a spreadable consistency. Using a handheld mixer, beat until smooth.
