Someone once said that real strength is the ability to break a chocolate bar into four pieces with your bare hands and then eat just one of those pieces. I must have no willpower whatsoever because, to date, I haven’t managed to pass this test! If I had it my way, I would dip everything in chocolate. Brownies are my biggest weakness, not to mention chocolate covered fruit. And since we’re on the topic of all things chocolate, the other day I baked this yummy cake with cocoa, almonds and coconut flakes. What I love most about this recipe is that you don’t need any fancy ingredients (or animal ingredients) to make it.

250 g equates to what in american measurements? Everything else in the recipe is in cups, tsps, Tbsp, etc. Are there alternative pan sizes that could be used? 9 x 5 loaf pan?
Also, I am not sure what the exact measurement for the margarine is. Can you clarify?… cups, tablespoons, etc.
Yes, I am uncertain of the margarine measurement as well. What exactly is a "pack" of margarine? Is it a cube or the entire box (4 cubes?)
Thanks!
Hi Julie,
it\’s 250g. Sorry about the confusion!
Would it be possible to make this w/coconut oil, instead of vegan margarine? Thanks!
Hi Lisa,
Yes you can! :)
