Coffee/Rum Dip for Sponge

MAKE THE CAKE
Mix the melted butter, egg, coconut flour, erythritol, coconut milk, baking powder and vanilla. Mix well until smooth.
Pour half the mixture into a 3 inch ramekin (or ramekin that fits your serving dish) and the remaining mixture into another same sized ramekin.
Place in the microwave and cook for 2 minutes.
Remove from the microwave, gently ease out of the ramekin and cut in half lengthways. Set aside.
TO ASSEMBLE
Dip the sponge slices into the coffee mixture and place one of the slices into your serving glass.
Spoon a large tablespoon or two of the cream mixture. Smooth the cream out evenly.
Repeat with the layers of cake dipped in coffee mixture and spooned cream until you are left with a cream topping.
Lightly dust the topping with unsweetened cocoa powder.
