Instructions
- Heat oven to 180°C/350°F. Lightly grease 2 x 20cm (8") round cake pans and line the bottoms with baking parchment.
- Stir the vinegar or lemon juice into the dairy-free milk and leave for a few minutes to curdle slightly and create ‘buttermilk’.
- In a large bowl, add the flour, sugar, TREX, vanilla, baking powder and buttermilk and beat (with a wooden spoon or electric mixer) until smooth. Take care not to overmix.
- Divide the batter between the prepared pans and bake for 25 minutes or until an inserted skewer comes out clean. Allow to cool in the tins for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
For the filling:
- Beat the TREX, icing sugar and vanilla with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. If the mixture is too thick, add a tablespoon of dairy-free milk. Spoon the mixture into a piping bag with a plain nozzle.
To assemble:
- Spread the jam over the bottom layer of completely cooled cake. Pipe the buttercream over the jam, then place the second layer of cake over the top.
- Sift a dusting of icing sugar over the top layer.
