Gluten Free Dairy Free Chocolate Cake
Gluten-free, Wheat-free, Nut-free, Egg-free, Dairy-free, Vegan
Ingredients
- FOR THE CAKE:
- 145 g Free From Fairy gluten-free plain flour
- 3 tsp baking powder - (make sure it's gluten free)
- 30 g cocoa
- 70 g margarine - I used dairy free Vitalite
- 60 g coconut sugar - I used Coconut Merchant - you could use 'ordinary' sugar
- 1 tbsp syrup - I used Coconut Merchant coconut syrup but you could use golden syrup
- 150 ml coconut milk - (or other dairy free milk)
- FOR THE ICING:
- 100 g margarine - I used Vitalite again
- 100 g icing sugar - sifted
- 50 g cocoa - sifted
- Splash of water - enough to make a spreading consistency
Instructions
- Place the sugar, syrup and dairy-free spread into a large bowl and beat with an electric whisk, or stand mixer until pale and fluffy in appearance. This will take about 2 minutes.
- Add all the other ingredients and carefully fold them into the mixture until the dry ingredients are combined with the wet.
- Whisk together for a further minute or so until nice and fluffy.
- Transfer the mixture to two well greased 15cm round tins, and smooth the tops.
- Bake in the centre of a pre-heated oven at 190 degrees (170 degree fan, gas mark 5) for 15 - 20 minutes until a skewer comes out clean and the top springs back when you touch it.
- Cool for 5 minutes before turning out on a wire rack to cool.
- While cooling, make the icing by mixing all the ingredients together until combined, then whisking for approx. 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Decorate how you like...checking the ingredients of everything you use!
