Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, coconut sugar, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, and salt until completely combined and lump-free.
Add the egg, milk, and vegetable oil. Whisk for about a minute until the batter is smooth and slightly thickened.
Pour in the boiling water and stir gently until fully incorporated. The batter will look incredibly liquid and runny.
Pour half of the batter into a prepared tin. Bake for 22–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the first cake cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then carefully turn it out onto a wire rack.
Let the tin cool completely, wash it, re-grease and line it, then pour in the second half of the batter and bake the second cake.
Mix skyr with blackberry jam for the frosting.
Once the cakes are cool, assemble the cake by spreading frosting between the layers and on top.
Place blackberries on top for decoration.
