Vegan Recipe for Chocolate Sponge Cake

 

Ingredients

 

2 cups self-rising flour (pref. 85% whole-wheat)

1/4 cup cocoa powder

3 tsp baking powder

1 1/3 cup vanilla sugar -OR- Superfine sugar

9 tbsp sunflower oil

1 1/2 cup water

vegan margarine for greasing

 

Topping

 

Chocolate Fudge Icing or Chocolate Butter

 

Dark Chocolate, coarsely grated.

 

Confectioners' Sugar

 

Method

 

Preheat the oven to 325° F.

 

Grease two 8- to 8-1/2-inch shallow cake pans and line the base of

each with a circle of greased wax paper.

 

Sift the flour, cocoa powder and baking powder into a bowl. Add the

sugar, oil and water. Mix well to a batter-like consistency. Pour the

mixture into the prepared pans and bake for about 40 minutes, until

the cakes spring back to a light touch in the center.

 

Turn the cakes out onto a wire rack and strip off the wax paper. Allow

to cool completely.

 

Sandwich your vegan recipe for chocolate sponge cake together with

half the fudge icing or chocolate buttercream and coat the top with

the rest. Sprinkle on a little grated chocolate and confectioners' sugar.
