Ingredients

For the Sponge

110ml OGGS® Aquafaba
140ml vegetable oil
110ml soy milk
125g caster sugar
285g self raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 tsp salt

For the Frosting

75g dairy free butter
150g icing sugar, plus extra for dusting
1 tbsp vanilla extract

To Decorate

4 tbsp strawberry jam
Fresh strawberries and icing sugar to decorate

Method

Preheat the oven to 150°C Fan (170°C / Gas 3). Line two 6" baking tins with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl combine the OGGS® Aquafaba with the oil, sugar, salt, soy milk and vanilla and whisk until the sugar has dissolved.
Mix in the flour and the baking powder.
Pour into the tins and cook for 50 mins or until a skewer comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tins for 10 minutes before putting onto a wire rack to continue cooling.
To make the frosting, beat the dairy-free butter for 1 min until pale and smooth. Sift in the icing sugar, add the vanilla extract and beat for 5 mins until pale and fluffy.
Assemble your cakes with the frosting! We love adding strawberries to our Victoria Sponge!
