Divide the dough between two bowls and add to one the 3 tablespoons of cocoa and the 4 or 5 tablespoons of Ecomil coconut drink.

Using a kitchen brush, cover the walls and bottom of a cake pan with coconut oil and sprinkle with buckwheat flour so that the cake does not stick.

Put a large spoonful of normal dough in the pan and a spoonful of chocolate on top. Repeat until all the dough is ready.
