Yes of course you can eat cake, whether you prefer chocolate, coffee, carrot or vanilla. To follow is a basic recipe which you can use and adapt to your taste.
Start by turning the oven on to heat up, about 175C
Dry ingredients
1 cup of whatever your preferred flour is
1/3 cup cocoa powder
3/4 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
Wet ingredients
1 cup unsweetened soya milk/almond milk
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
3/4 cup granulated sugar/or 1/2 brown sugar
1/3 cup vegetable/sunflower oil/or melted PURE Soya
1 tsp vanilla or almond essence
Start with the milk and vinegar, whisk them together and leave to stand for a few minutes, add the sugar, oil and essence.
In a separate bowl, sift the flour,cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Add 1/2 the wet mixture and mix, then add the rest. I use a hand whisk, but you could use an electric mixer if you prefer. But keep mixing until all the ingredients are well and truly combined.
Take a bun tin add cupcake liners and spoon the mixture evenly between the 12 cups. They only need about 15 – 20 minutes. Keep an eye on them, do a cocktail stick test, if it comes out of the cake clean, then they are ready, if not put in for a few more minutes.
Leave to cool, then either sprinkle with Billingtons golden icing sugar or make up some chocolate icing or cream. I use PURE for a thicker topping.
Then enjoy!
