This is a good base recipe which really lets you play around with tasty enhancements depending on what you have on hand.
The following recipe makes enough for a double layer 9" round cake. I usually just make the one cake and cut it in half rather than making 2 cakes with half the batter each.
dry ingredients:
- 1/2 cups flour of your choice
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- optional: 1 Tbsp vanilla flavored soy protein powder
- 3/4 cup soy or rice milk (vanilla or plain)
- 1/4 cup sunflower oil
- 2/3 cup organic cane sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350.
In a large bowl sift together dry ingredients.
In a small bowl whisk together wet ingredients and mix until thoroughly combined.
Pour wet ingredients over dry and mix well.
"Grease" a 9" round springform pan (or other pan of your choice - an 8"x8" brownie pan will work as well); I use Earth Balance.
Place in oven and bake 25 min. or until top is golden and springs back to the touch.
Cool on wire rack for 1 hr. before cutting in half and allowing to cool more before icing and decorating.
a few icing ideas:
- chocolate frosting (this mousse recipe works very well if you use about 1 1/2 cups vegan chocolate chunks instead of 1 cup)
- raspberry jam
- combine the chocolate frosting with some raspberry jam - super yum!!
- strawberries
- lemon icing (sorry, no recipe yet...)
