A Ritual Dessert for Stillness, Reflection, and Heart Healing
by Monica Finazzo - The Enchantress
As the Moon Cycles close for the year, its energy invites deep rest and stillness. The Sacred Cacao Cake is not just a dessert, it’s a ritual of completion. Each ingredient grounds your body while opening your heart, offering comfort after readings, rituals, or emotional reflection.
Bake this when you crave peace. Eat it slowly, like a prayer.
When to Prepare
Prepare this cake when:
✔️ You’re reflecting on the year.
✔️ You’ve completed a tarot or oracle reading and need grounding
✔️ You feel emotional release after ritual or meditation
✔️ You’re celebrating endings
Ingredients
Cake
70 g coconut oil (plus extra for greasing)
230 g unsweetened almond milk
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
125 g coconut sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
170 g almond flour
30 g cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
55 g sacred cacao (chopped finely)
Ganache
120 g sacred cacao
45 g almond milk
15 g maple syrup
Step-by-Step Preparation
1. Set Your Space
Before you bake, light a candle. Take a deep breath. Whisper:
“May this cake bring warmth, grounding, and renewal.”
Cooking is energy work, your intention infuses the ingredients.
2. Preheat & Prepare
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch (20 cm) round cake pan lightly with coconut oil.
3. Activate the Base
Combine almond milk and vinegar. Let it sit for 5 minutes to curdle - it becomes your grounding base, transforming energy just like your own alchemy after a reading.
4. Mix the Wet Ingredients
Add melted coconut oil, coconut sugar, and vanilla. Stir until glossy and unified, this represents emotional clarity.
5. Combine the Dry Ingredients
In another bowl, sift almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Fold into the wet mixture slowly, allowing each motion to anchor you.
6. Fold Through the Sacred Cacao
Add the chopped cacao. Let the aroma awaken your heart. This is your heart chakra medicine, bittersweet and healing.
7. Bake With Presence
Pour into the pan and bake for 30–35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
While baking, you might shuffle your deck and ask:
“What am I ready to release before the year ends?”
8. Cool and Rest
Let the cake cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan. Like your spirit, it needs time to settle before it’s ready to be shared.
Ganache Magic
Melt the cacao with almond milk and maple syrup gently over low heat. Stir slowly, clockwise, as you say:
“I open my heart to peace and closure.”
When glossy, let it thicken slightly. Spread over your cooled cake with care like sealing your ritual with sweetness.

Tarot Reflection
Baking is a lot like a tarot spread:
You set the intention (the question).
You mix the elements (shuffle your deck).
You wait in trust (draw the cards).
You receive what’s ready to rise (interpret with love).
Let this cake remind you that magic isn’t in the mystery, it’s in the mindful act. You don’t need grand ceremonies; just your hands, your breath, and your presence.
When you share it, you’re sharing the energy of softness, stillness, and soul-led gratitude.
With heart and sweetness,
Monica – The Enchantress
