I'm I've always been one to bake a cake with all the well known ingredients to creating a light fluffy sponge. Until I came across an old fashioned recipe online the contained no milk, butter or eggs!
At first thought I began thinking how on earth can you create a fluffy sponge without the usual egg milk and butter?!?!
Curious to know if Infact this would work I tried it out and I have to say was my far the best cake I have ever made! Delicious, light and fluffy! So I would like to share the recipe with you. Perfect for anyone looking for a dairy free cake recipe!
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup of sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp white vinegar
1 cup water
3 tbsp cacao or unsweetened cocoa powder.
5 tbsp vegetable oil
Icing ingredients:
1/2 cup icing sugar
1 tsp coca powder
Approx 2 tsp of water
Method:
Mix all dry ingredients together with a whisk to loosen any lumps and combined them. Make a well in the centre of the dry mix and add all your wet ingredients and stir together until it forms a smooth mixture. Transfer into a square baking tin approx 8".
Baking in preheated oven of 200C for about 35 minutes or until the sides come away from the tin and when proded with a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow to cool completely then Mix your icing sugar, coca powder together with a small amount of water. Until you create a thick paste like icing. Then smooth over the top of your sponge with a palette knife to finish.
