Ingredients

  • Cake:
  • 200ml oat milk or soy milk
  • 1 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 8 ml aquafaba
  • 150g caster sugar
  • 80ml sunflower oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 200g plain flour
  • 20g cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • Syrup:
  • 200ml Nature’s Charm evaporated oat milk
  • 150g Nature’s Charm sweetened condensed oat milk
  • 50g Nature’s Charm coconut whipping cream
  • Frosting:
  • 750g Nature’s Charm coconut whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional)
  • Optional garnish:
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 180g fresh strawberries
  • 120g fresh raspberries
  • 100g fresh blueberries

Instructions

  • Cake: Preheat your oven to 175°C. Lightly grease and line the base and sides of an 8 x 10.5 inch rectangular cake tin with parchment paper and spray the sides with oil spray.
  • Combine the oat/soy milk and apple cider vinegar in a jug and set aside for 10 minutes. The milk will curdle, making a vegan buttermilk substitute.
  • Add the aquafaba to a clean medium/large bowl and whisk with an electric mixer for one minute until foamy.
  • Add the sugar and sunflower oil to a separate medium bowl and whisk using an electric mixer for one minute.
  • Add in the vanilla and whisk again to combine. Whisk in the aquafaba, followed by the vegan buttermilk mixture, until combined.
  • Sift the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt into a large bowl, whisk to combine.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and carefully fold them together using a spatula. Do not overmix the batter.
  • Pour the batter into the lined cake pan and bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 20 minutes before carefully lifting it with the parchment paper onto a cooling rack to cool completely for another 10-15 minutes.
  • Once cooled, carefully transfer the cake back into the cake tin and very gently remove the parchment paper. Pierce several holes in the cake using a fork.
  • Syrup: In a large jug combine the Nature’s Charm evaporated oat milk, sweetened condensed oat milk, and coconut whipping cream. Whisk until smooth.
  • Slowly pour the syrup all over the top and sides of the cooled cake, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2-3 hours or overnight.
  • Frosting: In a large bowl, whisk the coconut whipping cream and powdered sugar for a couple of minutes until light and fluffy.
  • Using an offset spatula, spread the coconut frosting on top of the cake. Top with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon and fresh berries.
