For the cake
Cooking oil spray for greasing
540g plain flour
600g caster sugar
9 tbsp cocoa powder
3 tsp bicarbonate of soda
2 tsp fine salt
225g coconut oil
4 tbsp Encona Limited Edition Carolina Reaper Chilli Sauce

For the buttercream
500g icing sugar
5 tbsp cocoa powder

Instructions
1) Preheat the oven to 180ºC. Line three 9 inch springform tins with baking parchment and spray with cooking oil.
2) Combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt in a large bowl.
3) Using an electric whisk on a low speed, beat in the coconut oil, Encona Limited Edition Carolina Reaper Chilli Sauce, vinegar, vanilla extract and water until the batter is smooth and shiny.
4) Pour the batter into the prepared tins and bake for 30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Leave to cool for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
