FOR THE CAKE:

480 almond milk

2 tbsp lemon juice ⁣

⁣MAKE THE CAKE:

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease 3 cake tins. ⁣

2. In a jug combine the lemon juice and almond milk and leave to sit for 5 minutes. It should start to curdle (creating a vegan “buttermilk”)⁣

3. Sift the flour into a mixing bowl and add the sugar, baking soda, salt and cacao powder.⁣

4. Add the vanilla, oil, vinegar, beetroot powder and beetroot juice into the jug with the lemon almond milk mixture. ⁣

6. Divide the cake batter into the cake tins and bake for 20-30 minutes or until cooked through. ⁣

7. Leave the cakes to cool. I wrapped mine in cling wrap and placed in the freezer overnight. Then allowed to thaw and iced them.⁣

8. Otherwise allow the cake to cool completely then ice and Slice and enjoy ! ⁣
