Equipment

  • 27 x 36cm 12 Hole Mini Sandwich Tin with Loose Bases
  • grease proof paper
  • 2 piping bags

Ingredients

For the cake

  • 150 grams non-dairy butter e.g. Flora or Naturli
  • 200 grams caster sugar
  • 300 grams self raising flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 300 ml non-dairy milk e.g. soy milk or oat milk
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla paste

For the filling

  • 4 tbsp raspberry jam
  • 200 ml vegan whipping cream

To decorate

  • 2 tbsp Icing sugar

Instructions

To make the cake

  • Pre-heat your oven to 180C / 356F / gas 4.
  • Cut out 12 small discs of grease proof paper and place in the bottom of your tins.
  • Make sure all of your ingredients are weighed out and ready to go.
  • In a large bowl, beat the non-dairy butter and caster sugar together until it is pale and creamy.
  • In a separate jug, mix together the milk, vinegar and vanilla extract. (Do not worry if the acid reacts with the milk and it looks like it has split or curdled).
  • Add half of the milk and vinegar mix in with the creamed butter and sugar.
  • Sift in half of the flour and baking powder and fold in.
  • Stir in the remaining milk and vinegar before folding in the remaining flour and baking powder.
  • Spoon the cake batter into your cake tins (1 heaped tbsp - 2 tbsp per cake hole)
  • Bake in the centre of the oven for 15-18 minutes or until the cakes are golden brown, a skewer inserted into the middle of the cakes come out clean and the cake is springy to the touch.
  • Remove the cakes from the oven once they are cooked and leave them in the tin until cool enough to handle.
  • Push the cakes out using the loose bottoms tins and peel off the layer of grease proof paper.
  • Let them finish cooling before cutting and decorating.

To make the filling

  • While the cakes are cooling, whisk the vegan whipping cream until thick and holding its shape.
  • Spoon this into your first piping bag.
  • Next spoon the jam into a second piping bag.

To assemble

  • Carefully cut the cakes in half horizontally.
  • Pipe alternating blobs of cream and jam on top of the bottom layer.
  • Sandwich the top piece of cake on top.

To decorate

  • Simply dust with sifted icing sugar to finish.
