Dairy-Free and Delicious – Recipes to Get You Started

Celebration Cake
Serves 8 large slices

Wet ingredients
1 cup soya milk
¾ cup maple syrup
½ cup mashed banana (1 medium or 2 small)
1/3 cup sunflower oil
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp cider vinegar

Dry ingredients
2 cups fine wholemeal flour
1 level tbsp baking powder
Pinch salt

Filling
Jam of your choice (We like blackberry, but apricot would be good too!)
Provamel Vanilla Soya Dessert

1. Preheat oven to 180ºC/350ºF/Gas Mark 4. (If using a fan-assisted oven, see maker’s instructions and alter time/temperature accordingly.)
2. Lightly oil or spray 2 shallow 9 inch cake tins. Loose-bottomed or spring form are best.
3. Place wet ingredients in a blender or food processor and process until smooth.
4. Place dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl and stir them together.
5. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and beat well, using a wire whisk or electric beater to make as smooth batter.
6. Pour batter equally into the prepared cake tins.
7. Shake pans back and forth to even out batter, then tap on a work surface to rid the batter of any air pockets.
8. Bake for about 25-30 minutes (less if in a fan-assisted oven), until a skewer inserted in the centre of each cake comes out clean. You may have to swap oven racks to ensure that each cake is cooked evenly.
9. Remove cake tins from oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
10. Gently turn them out of the tins – a long spatula is handy for this – and allow to cool completely.
11. While cakes are cooling, get the filling of your choice ready.
12. If using our filling suggestion, spread jam on each half of cake, then the Soya Dessert. Put the two halves together, slice the cake and serve.
