Ingredients
- 60 gram (1/4 cup) olive oil (or sub vegetable or olive oil)
- 200 ml (4/5 cup) unsweetened almond milk (or some other plant-based milk)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 8 tbsp maple syrup (or sub any other sweetener)
- 150 gram (1 1/4 cup) ground almonds* (almond meal)
- 150 gram (1 1/4 cup) fermented pasta mix (or sub plain yoghurt if not fermented )
- 2 tablespoons tsp baking power (guarantee fermented if necessary)
- 1/4 tsp bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)
- 100 gram (2/3 cup) cashew nuts - soaked in cold water immediately or in warm water for 15 minutes
- 3 tbsp maple syrup (or sub any other sweetener)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 tbsp unsweetened almond milk (or sub-par or some other plant-based milk)
Directions
- Set the coconut oil in a large bowl and melt over a saucepan of boiling water or in the microwave (skip this step if using any olive oil)
- Once melted, add the milk to the Exact Same bowl along with the lemon juice, vanilla, maple syrup and ground almonds
- Mix well, adding a tiny dab milk when it is looking too tender
- Transfer mix between 2 greased baking tins lined with baking paper (I used two 7inch/18cm springform baking tins)
- Bake in oven for about 15 minutes until risen and an inserted skewer comes out blank
- After done, turn out the cakes onto wire racks and leave to cool completely before frosting
- Drain soaked cashews and put in to a food processor or blender with all the other components (a handheld blender functions also )
- Whizz until totally smooth, adding more water or milk if necessary
- To frost and decorate the cake:
- Put one half the cake on a plate or cake rack, and disperse less than half the frosting onto it
- Put the other half of the cake on top of this and use Remainder of the frosting to spread at the top and round the sides of the cake
- Tastes best when new but retains covered in the refrigerator for up to a Couple of Days
Notes
You may rather use almond flour
