1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees celcius/ 350 degrees fahrenheit and line a sheet pan with baking paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl add 1 & ¼ cups rice flour, ¾ cup all purpose flour, ½ cup coconut sugar, 2 tbsp cornstarch, 2 tbsp baking powder and ½ tsp salt. In a smaller bowl mix 1 cup soy milk, ½ cup extra virgin olive oil, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar and 2 tbsp vanilla extract.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix well until combined. Transfer batter into a sheet pan and place in the oven for 25-30 minutes. Set aside to cool completely.
4. Add 1 & ½ cups of coconut cream and ½ cup maple syrup into a blender and blend until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
5. Add 1 & ½ cups of soaked cashews, 1 cup coffee and ¼ cup maple syrup to a blender and blend until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
6. Once the sponge is completely cool you can begin layering the tiramisu. Cut the sponge into bite-sized pieces and layer half in the bottom of 4 large jars. Then, using a spoon, add a layer of coffee cream, the coconut cream, then dust a tbsp of cacao powder on top. Repeat the process once more, so you have 2 layers of each mixture. Refrigerate overnight (or for 6 hours).
Tips *use a high quality, thick coconut cream, it will be smoother and layer better.

Healthy Fats
This recipe includes a good dose of healthy fats in the cashews and coconut cream. They have monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids which are known to help decrease concerning levels of LDL cholesterol. Research shows a healthy cholesterol level will reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke and heart attack. Cashew nuts are also a good source of magnesium, a vital mineral which helps complete over 300 enzyme reactions in the body. Some of the most important of these include helping with muscle and nerve functioning, regulating blood pressure and supporting the immune system. Magnesium is essential for our recovery as this regulation of the muscles helps them to relax. So whilst you relax with your creamy tiramisu, your muscles are relaxing too!
