DANGER: Before I start I want to clarify that this cake is extremely addictive, too creamy, and sooo decadent.
Now, who in this world does not like a chocolate cake, with a very creamy filling, and also with a layer of mousse on top? But not of any mousse, more specifically of this super peanut butter mousse, extra creamy, soft and fluffy.

But let’s start from the bottom, the crust of this cake is made of oatmeal, it’s crunchy, easy to make, very rich, and it has that typical flavor of oats which is much tastier than ordinary flour. Being oatmeal, it can be gluten-free, if you use oatmeal that complies with this

The chocolate filling is super creamy and so rich that you could eat it that way, straight from the bowl. It is made with sweet potato, daark chocolate, peanut butter and sweetened with maple syrup, although you can also use honey.
And finally the mousse, a vegan mousse made of peanut butter and aquafaba, the liquid that remains from the cooking of the chickpeas, or the one in the can of cooked chickpeas. It is very easy to make, with only 4 ingredients, very rich in nutrients, healthy fats, and plant proteins.

Do you dare to try the recipe? You will not regret!

Recipe Notes
*You can use an Orgran type egg replacement, or prepare one with 1 teaspoon of flax flour and 3 tablespoons of water for each egg, mix and let stand 15 minutes.
This recipe sounds amazing! Can I use a real egg when your recipe calls for an egg replacement?
Yes, of course, let me know if you try it!
