Ingredients:

For the filling:
- 150g NOMO Creamy Choc, chopped

Method:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas 4.
- Mix all the dried ingredients in a large bowl.
- Add the wet ingredients and whisk until well combined.
- Divide the mixture between three 6" cake tins and bake each cake for about 20 mins or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Make the filling. Add the chocolate and cream to a glass bowl and gently melt over bain-marie. Let cool down completely then whisk with an electric mixer until you get a mousse like consistency.
- Make the buttercream. With an electric mixer, beat the vegan butter for about 5 mins, until nice and fluffy. Add half of the icing sugar and whisk for a few mins. Add the remaining sugar and whisk for a further few mins. Finally fold in the oat milk and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. Transfer the buttercream to a piping bag fitted with a nozzle of your choice.
- Assemble the cake. Alternate a layer of sponge and a layer of chocolate filling. Cover the top and sides of the cake with the vanilla buttercream and smooth with a spatula. Pipe some swirls.
- Decorate with sprinkles and pieces of NOMO Birthday Cake Bar.
