Vegan Chocolate Fudge Layer Cake

Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup olive oil
  • 2 cups caster sugar
  • 2 1/3 cups GF self raising flour
  • 1 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 1/2 cups non-dairy milk mixed with 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Frosting

  • 3 heaped tbsp non-dairy butter
  • 1 1/2 cups icing sugar
  • 3 tbsp cocoa powder

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 180c and line your two cake tins with baking paper on the base. Then lightly grease the sides with some non-dairy butter.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine your dry ingredients and roughly stir together. Mix together the vinegar, plant milk and olive oil and let this sit for 5 minutes.
  • Fold the wet and dry mixtures together to create a smooth batter, then divide this between your cake tins.
  • Place the cakes into the oven to bake for around 30 minutes or until cooked through (check after 25 minutes) and allow to cool on a wire wrack.
  • For your buttercream frosting, beat the butter until light and fluffy, then gradually stir in the cocoa and icing sugar.
  • Once your cake has cooled, spread a generous amount of the frosting on one layer and carefully place the second on top. Add the remaining icing to the top layer and garnish with fresh berries for decoration.
