  • 3 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 300ml soy milk
  • 2 vanilla bean, seeds
  • 300g cane sugar
  • 375g spelt flour
  • 150g ground almonds
  • 1 lemon, peel
  • 1.5 tbs baking powder
  • 1 dash of salt
  • Additional Ingredients:

Instructions
  1. For the Cake:
  2. Preheat your oven to 180°C.
  3. Add the soy yoghurt, canola oil, locust gum, soy milk, vinegar, the seeds of the vanilla bean, lemon peel and the cane sugar into a mixing bowl and cream together until well combined.
  4. Sieve in the flour, ground almonds and baking powder. Mix until just combined.
  5. Divide batter into three parts and pour in to the three lined springfrom pans (15cm)
  6. Bake for 20 minutes. When your cakes have finished baking let them cool completely.
  7. When the cake has cooled completely and your simple syrup as well as the frosting is ready, level your cakes with a serrated knife. Brush the levelled cakes with the simple syrup.
  8. Place the first layer on a plate lined with two pieces of baking paper, so they can easily be removed afterwards. With a piping bag pipe a 1cm log a round the edges of the first layer and fill the middle with your choice of jam, I used rhubarb straberry jam. Stack the second layer on top and repeat. Add the last layer and frost the top. Fill in the gaps between the layers and with a frosting scraper distribute the frosting around the edges of the cake. Place the cake in the fridge until it is read to be served.
  9. Right before serving the cake top it with flowers and freeze dried berries or whatever other decoration you like. Serve alongside fresh strawberries.
