VANILLA CAKE VEGAN

You’ll love this easy to make Lenten / Vegan Vanilla Cake that’s a special treat for fasting, just takes a few minutes to mix up and around half an hour to bake in the oven. The result is a fluffy and aromatic cake….and you wouldn’t know that it’s Vegan!

Step 1: Preheat oven to 180 degrees.

Step 2: Mix the dry ingredients into a bowl.

1 3/4 cups Self Raising Flour, sifted

1/2 tsp Salt

3/4 cup Caster Sugar

Step 3: Mix the wet ingredients into separate small bowl.

1 cup Oat Milk (or other non-dairy)

2 tsp Pure Vanilla Essence

1/3 cup Light Tasting Olive Oil (or Sunflower Oil)

1 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar

Step 4: Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients, and mix well.

Step 5: Grease a 10″ round cake tin and grease with olive oil spray or sunflower oil, and line with baking paper.

Step 6: Bake at 180 degrees (350 F) for approximately 30-40 minutes. Test with a skewer.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool.

Dust with sifted icing sugar before serving.

This cake keeps well, and is perfect for sharing with friends either over a glass of sparkling wine, or your favourite tea or coffee, a bowl of fresh berries, or perhaps a dollop of blackberry jam.  I had some fun using freshly picked flowers from my garden to add a splash of colour!

Enjoy!
