Notes
Mo’s tip: I rolled the fondant a little larger than needed and overlapped it onto the board, I find this gives a neater finish to the cake.
I whizzed the almonds and coconut in my food mixer just to get them a bit finer.
This divides into 12 slices. Each slice is: 25.48g fat / 6.66g protein / 2.19g CHO
