Equipment

1 measuring jug
2 mixing bowls
1 Spatula
2 Cake tins
baking paper
1 Wire rack
1 Electric whisk
1 piping bag

Ingredients

For the cake

350 ml soy milk
2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
400 g self raising flour
100 g caster sugar
125 ml vegetable oil or other unflavoured oil
0.5 teaspoon vanilla paste
6 tablespoon sprinkles

For the filling

4 tablespoon raspberry jam

For the buttercream

300 g vegan butter
600 g icing sugar
food colouring optional
4 tablespoon sprinkles optional

Instructions

Pre-heat your oven to 180 C / 35 F / gas mark 4.
Mix together the apple cider vinegar and soy milk and leave to curdle before stirring in the oil and vanilla paste.
Add the flour and sugar to a large bowl then pour over the milk/ vinegar mix, oil and vanilla paste.
Using a spatula, mix well until a batter has formed then add the sprinkles and stir until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into your lined tins then place into the oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the cakes from the oven once a skewer comes out clean.
Leave the cakes to cool on a wire rack.
Only once the cakes are completely cool, beat together the icing sugar and vegan butter until smooth using an electric whisk.
Stack the cake layers by piping a ring of buttercream round the outside of the bottom layer and then filling that ring with the raspberry jam. Add the other cake layer on top.
Once the cake is stacked, colour the remaining buttercream as you wish and frost with your own design and top with the remaining sprinkles if using.
