Pre-heat oven to 180C/160C. Line a baking sheet with some parchment paper, and then grease the surface with a dairy-free spread. You’ll need to use 2 x 20cm sandwich tins.

STEP 2

Add dairy-free milk to a jug and add vinegar, leave for a few minutes until it looks like some of the liquid has gone towards producing lumps. Add half of the vanilla seeds and all the other cake ingredients to a large bowl. Then pour over the milk mixture. Beat the mixture with an electric beater or a wooden spoon until it’s smooth.

STEP 3

The cake batter should be divided between your two tins, then baked in the center of the oven for 30-35 minutes. You may need to assess its readiness using a skewer, and it should emerge clean from the middle of the cake after your insert it to be able to classify it as done. Let them cool until they can be handled.

Note: Baking the cake layer sets in advance so all you have to do is assemble is advisable!

STEP 4

Just as the cakes are cooling down, start preparing the cream filling. First, whisk or beat together the dairy-free spread and icing sugar until they have been combined thoroughly and have a nice pale color. Next, add in the remaining vanilla seeds and continue to whisk or beat until they are mixed evenly throughout. Stir, but try not to overwork the mixture, because doing so can ruin it. If the mixture is too firm, however, you may want to employ electric beaters for lighting. Add 1-2 tbsp of dairy-free milk when whisking, if that is the case.

Note: There can be a lot of variation in dairy-free spreads so it’s best to assess first what will happen with the consistency of the mix before using an electric beater.

STEP 5

In order to create a perfect cake, it is important to spread the jam onto the cooled sponges and top them with the buttercream frosting. This will ensure that they fit nicely and without any gaps or bumps. The other sponge must then be placed on top of the first one for support.

When preparing for slicing and eating, sprinkle on the assembled cake a little icing sugar or caster sugar. It will add more dimension and flavor!
