Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Blend soaked cashews, coconut cream, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a high-speed blender until smooth. Refrigerate for at least 5 hours.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk together flours, tapioca starch, coconut sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and xanthan gum. Gradually add almond milk, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and applesauce until smooth. Spread batter and bake for about 16 minutes.
  3. Once cooled for 5-10 minutes, cut the cake into 12 squares. Spread a thin layer of cream filling on each square, roll tightly, and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
  4. Melt dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Dip each roll in the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place on a lined baking sheet to cool completely for 15-20 minutes.
