Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 170 °C static. Brush the inside of the cake pan with sunflower oil and cover the bottom with a disc of baking paper.

2. Melt the dark chocolate in a bain-marie over low heat.

3. Pour the spelt flour into a large bowl and sift the yeast, cocoa and rice starch. Mix the ingredients with a whisk to eliminate any lumps. 

4. Once the chocolate has melted, add the sunflower oil and blend together using a spatula. Add vanilla (optional) and mix.

5. In a smaller bowl, mix the soy drink, sugar and pinch of salt with a whisk. Then add the sunflower oil and chocolate mixture and blend everything.

6. Now pour the liquids into the powders and mix the ingredients using a whisk.

7. Place the mixture into a springform baking pan.

8. Bake in the oven at 170 °C for 30 minutes, then raise the temperature to 180 °C and continue baking for another 10-15 minutes. The cooking time depends on the oven, so test with a toothpick to check that the dough is cooked in the center and does not stick to the toothpick.

    

9. When the cake is ready, remove it from the oven and allow it to sit for 5 minutes before removing it from the pan. Then allow it to cool completely on a rack for 2-3 hours.

    

10. At this point, mix the blackberries, raspberries and lemon juice together in a thick-bottomed pan. Cook over medium-low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.

     

11. In the meantime, mix the powdered sugar, brown sugar and agar-agar in a bowl.

     

12. After 15 minutes, remove the fruit from the heat, blend in the sugar and agar-agar and mix with a whisk. Place the pan back on the stove and cook the mixture for another 2 minutes, stirring continuously.

     

13. Now, remove from heat and add the coloring (optional). Filter the sauce using a sieve to remove all the seeds. Press down well with a spatula to get all the sauce, and then set aside to cool at room temperature.

     

14. Pour the sauce over the cake using a small spatula and let it drip down the edges of the cake. 

     

15. Once the sauce has cooled, stick a knife into the top of the cake to get the scary effect of blood at the crime scene
