Ingredients
For the Cake
- 300 g plain flour all purpose flour, 10 1/2 oz
- 255 g caster sugar 9oz
- 2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 380 ml non-dairy milk 13 fl oz, favourite
- 120 ml sunflower oil melted, or coconut oil, 4 fl oz
- 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp vegetable shortening melted, to grease the cake tins
- 2 tbsp flour to dust the cake tins
For the coconut cream and to serve
- 400 g coconut milk <b>chilled overnight</b>, full fat, 14oz tin
- 150 g icing sugar 5.3 oz
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- strawberry quartered, to serve, handful
- icing sugar to dust
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C (350F). Brush two 16cm (6in) cake tins with the melted vegetable shortening (I used Trex) and dust with flour, shaking out any excess.
- Sift the flour, sugar and soda into a large bowl.
- Mix the milk, oil, vinegar and vanilla extract together and then pour into the bowl with the flour.
- Use a balloon whisk to thoroughly mix the batter until smooth.
- Divide between the prepared tins and tap against the counter.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes until the cake is springy to the touch and a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. If the cakes are browning too much you may need to cover them with some foil after 30 minutes.
- Carefully turn out onto a wire rack and leave to cool completely. You might need to level the cakes before sandwiching the layers.
- Open the tin of coconut milk and scoop the solid cream into your mixing bowl. You can use the liquid in smoothies or discard.
- Add icing sugar and vanilla and ideally chill the bowl for 20 minutes.
- Whisk slowly to combine at first and then increase the speed until you have firm peaks.
- Spread some of the cream over the bottom cake layer and sanwich with top layer. Spread some cream over the top and then arrange strawberries over the top.
- Dust with icing sugar and serve.
