Ingredients

  • 250 ml Soy milk
  • 2 Teaspoons Apple cider vinegar (sub for white vinegar or lemon juice)
  • 280 g Self-raising flour
  • ½ Teaspoon Baking soda
  • 160 g Caster sugar
  • 140 g Vegan margarine, melted
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla extract (or strawberry extract)

To top:

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C/350°F (or 160°C/325°F for fan or convection ovens).

  2. Line an 8x10-inch tin with baking paper.

  3. Mix the soy milk and apple cider vinegar together in a small mug or bowl. Set it aside for a few minutes- it will curdle and thicken slightly.

  4. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda and caster sugar.

  5. Add in the curdled soy milk, along with the melted margarine and vanilla extract. Mix well until you have a smooth cake batter.

  6. Transfer the batter to your lined tin and spread out evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick through the centre comes out clean.

  7. Let the cake cool in the tin for around 10 minutes then carefully flip it out onto a wire rack. Peel off the baking paper and leave to cool completely.

  8. Once the cake is cool, spread over your frosting and top with heart-shaped sprinkles.

  9. Cut into 12 slices and enjoy.

Recipe Notes

  • *If you don't want to use strawberry frosting, you can just use a simple vegan vanilla buttercream and add pink food colouring to it.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
