Ingredients

  • 350 grams plain flour
  • 2 teaspoons bicarbonate soda
  • 3 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon mixed spice
  • 1 lemon zest only
  • 250 ml plant milk e.g. soy, almond or hemp
  • 0.5 lemon juice only
  • 225 grams dairy-free spread
  • 225 grams treacle
  • 225 grams dark muscavado sugar
  • 1 tablespoon icing sugar for dusting

Instructions

  • Line a 9" square cake tin with grease proof paper and pre-heat your oven to 150C/300F or gas mark 2.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, bicarbonate soda, ground spices and lemon zest.
  • In a separate jug or bowl, whisk together the plant milk and lemon juice. Place to one side and let it curdle.
  • In the meantime, gently heat the dairy-free spread, treacle and dark muscavado sugar.
  • Once the sugars and dairy-free spread have melted together, take off the heat and place to one side to cool slightly.
  • Pour the cooled sugar/dairy-free spread mixture and the curdled plant milk into the dry ingredients and whisk. 
  • Pour the batter into the cake tin and bake in the centre of the oven for 30 - 45 minutes.
  • The cake is done once it is springy to the touch or when a skewer placed in the centre of the cake comes out clean.
  • Turn the cake out on to a cooling rack and carefully peel off any grease proof paper. 
  • Allow to cool before cutting into squares and dusting with the icing sugar.
