Ingredients
- 250 g margarine
- 250 g sugar
- 1 tbsp soda
- 1 tbsp vinegar
- 2 tbsp chickpea flour alternatively cornstarch
- 150 g grated almonds
- 50 g flour
- 80 g cocoa
- 100 g dark chocolate
- 1/2 pomegranate
Instructions
- Whip warm margarine with sugar in a large bowl. Add soda and vinegar and stir. Pour regular flour, chickpea flour, almonds and cocoa in and mix thoroughly.
- Grease the cake-pan. Pour cake dough into it and smooth the dough with a spoon. Bake in the oven at 175°C (350°F) for about 30 minutes.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool while still inside the cake-pan. Cut the pomegranate into quarters and remove the seeds from the shell. This can be done in a large bowl filled with water. If you remove the seeds unterwater the juice cannot splash and the bitter yellow skin floats on the water and can be easily removed.
- Heat the dark chocolate in a water bath until it is liquid. Then pour it over the cake. Sprinkle the pomegranate seeds over it. Enjoy!
