Vegan Plum Sponge

Ingredients

  • 1 cup + 2 tbsp caster sugar or coconut palm sugar
  • 3/4 cup vegan butter
  • 1 cup oat milk
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 3/4 cups GF self raising flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 3 South African plums chopped into small chunks

Frosting

  • 3 tbsp vegan stick butter
  • 1 cup icing sugar
  • 3 tbsp cacao powder/cocoa powder
  • 5 South African plums for topping

Instructions

  • Pre-heat your oven to 180c and lightly grease a loose bottom cake tin with vegan butter.
  • Combine the milk and cider vinegar together and set aside. In a mixing bowl, cream together the vegan butter and sugar until pale and fluffy.
  • Whisk through the milk mixture then stir in the dry ingredients until smooth. Fold through your diced plums and trasnfer your cake batter into the cake tin.
  • Pop this into the oven for 40-45 minutes, until a skewer can be removed clean from the cake. Allow to cool a little, then remove the cake tin and leave to finish cooling on a wire wrack.
  • For the frosting, beat the butter to a pale and fluffy consistency, then gradually add in the sugar and cacao. Once smooth, lather over the cake and layer on your sliced plums.
