Directions

• *READ NOTES FIRST*
• Preheat the oven to 325f
• Line the base of two 8 inch round cake pans with removable bottoms with parchment paper, grease the sides of the pans
• Put all the cake ingredients in the bowl of your mixer and mix well until combined.
• Add in a 2 - 6 tablespoons soy milk to get a mixture that is a little thinner (but not runny) so that it drops off the side of the spoon when you tap it on the bowl.
• Evenly divide the mixture between the two pans and smooth out with an offset spatula, then bake in the oven near the top for 25 - 30 minutes or until cooked.
• When they are cooked let them cool on a rack.
• When they are fully cooled you can either sandwich the two cakes together with just raspberry jam in the middle and some powdered sugar dusted on top, or you can add jam and whipped cream.
• Or you can add a thinned down frosting like I did and add in some berries, I used raspberries.
• The cake freezes well and just needs to be defrosted at room temperature for about five minutes, I froze mine with the buttercream type filling and fresh raspberries and they defrosted really well.
• OPTIONAL FILLING
• Add in the sugar, margarine and vanilla to the mixing bowl and mix well to combine.
• Add in milk if you need to, to make the frosting a little softer.
