Instructions:⁠
*For the cake:⁠
Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.⁠
In a large bowl, place the coconut oil & melt over a saucepan of boiling water. Then add the milk with the lemon juice, maple syrup, vanilla & ground almonds.⁠
Sift in the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and matcha powder. Then mix well & transfer mixture between two small greased baking tins lined with baking paper. Bake for 15 minutes until risen. Once baked, transfer onto a wire rack to cool.⁠

*For the strawberry frosting:⁠
Refrigerate overnight the tin of coconut milk for the rich creamy. Open the tin upside down & pour off the watery liquid. Place the thick, creamy part into a bowl & add the strawberry jam.⁠
Use an electric whisk to whip up the coconut cream until light and fluffy.⁠

*To assemble:⁠
Once the sponges have cooled completely, place one sponge on a large plate or cake stand, and cover with half of the strawberry frosting.⁠
Place other sponge on top and use remaining frosting to cover the top.⁠
Decorate as desired.⁠
