Big Vegan hazelnut filled Chocolate Cake

Mrz 11, 2017 · 8 Comments

Hello Chocolate lovers !

As some of you might know, I am from Switzerland (the land of chocolate) and I never tried to hide my immensely deep almost disturbing love for chocolate. I persuade that I compensate my disgust for cheese with chocolate. Legit.


Well, maybe you know that Switzerland has a lot of traditional chocolates and one of them is the famous Ragusa. The main ingredients are sugar, whole milk powder, butter and cacao butter and I thought I can try to make my own vegan swiss version of a BIG VEGAN RAGUSA and call it a big vegan hazelnut filled chocolate Cake.

Big Vegan Ragusa
I was experimenting with the different consistencies of chocolate and I tried to make the filling slightly brighter in color. I made one big chocolate cake but of course you can make small ones as well.

Big Vegan Ragusa

For the brighter layer I used a vegan chocolate called Vego, as I really like that brand, you can, however, use whatever vegan „milk“ chocolate you like and it shouldn’t affect the end result. I also tried to make a raw version of a Ragusa but to be honest I couldn’t really get it to where I wanted it to be. The consistency stayed kind of grainy and it was hard to reach that amount of creaminess without using over 200gr of cacao butter and coconut oil. So the big challenge was to make it as healthy as possible but also as yummi as possible. 😀

Big Vegan Ragusa

I really hope you like this little (or big) treat and I can’t wait to see your picture of the Swiss chocolate cake.

XOXO

    Hey, what do you mean by coconut fat? Do you mean the cream at the top of a chilled-coconut milk can? 🙂

      Hey Camille,no it is actually real coconut fat that you can buy like this. You can substitute with coconut oil if you wish!
