Instructions:
1οΈβ£ Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350Β°F (180Β°C). Grease and line a 10x14 inch (25x35cm) Swiss roll tin with baking paper.
2οΈβ£ Prepare Flax Eggs: Mix 3 tablespoons ground flaxseed with 9 tablespoons water and set aside to thicken.
3οΈβ£ Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together brown rice flour, buckwheat flour, ground sunflower seeds, tapioca flour, cacao powder, sugar, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
4οΈβ£ Mix Wet Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the flax eggs, apple sauce, olive oil, molasses, apple cider vinegar, and hot water.
5οΈβ£ Combine Mixes: Add the wet mix to the dry mix and combine until well mixed. Add extra water 1 tablespoon at a time to achieve a pourable muffin consistency (about 2 extra tablespoons).
6οΈβ£ Bake: Pour the mixture into the lined tin and smooth the surface. Bake for about 20 minutes or until a cocktail stick comes out clean. Cool in the tin.
7οΈβ£ Cut Mini Cakes: Once cooled, use a 2-inch round cookie cutter to cut out 25 shapes.
8οΈβ£ Pipe Ganache: Spoon ganache into a piping bag with a large star nozzle. Pipe on top of the cakes and layer them, creating two- or three-layer mini cakes.
9οΈβ£ Make Chocolate Ganache: Roughly chop the chocolate and place in a bowl. Heat the oat cream and maple syrup (if using) until boiling and pour over the chocolate. Stir until melted and smooth. Cool and refrigerate overnight until pipeable.
π Decorate: Decorate with cranberries and rosemary sprigs. Blend desiccated coconut and sprinkle to resemble snow.
Notes:
Oat cream is used to avoid coconut cream, but other vegan creams can be used. Adjust chocolate or cream quantities if using coconut cream.
For a non-nut-free version, replace sunflower seeds with ground almonds and rapadura sugar with coconut sugar.
