In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking cocoa, baking powder and salt.
Slowly stir in the liquid ingredients until a smooth dough is obtained.
Put the dough in the baking form and bake in the oven for about 45-60 minutes.
Then remove from the oven and let cool completely.
Frosting
For the frosting, heat coconut milk and chocolate in a saucepan and stir. Optionally sweet with powdered sugar.
Then allow to cool. Add toppings of your choice like berries and vegan sprinkles.
Put the frosting into the mold on the cake and let it set in the fridge for about 2-3 hours.
Then store the cake in the fridge so that the frosting does not soften.
