No Eggs, Food-Allergy Friendly Spongecake
- 110 grams White flour
- 20 grams Cocoa powder
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 60 grams Sugar
- 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp Baking soda
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 120 ml Cold water
- 50 ml Vegetable oil
- 5 drops Vanilla extract
- Preheat oven to 160C.
- Coat the inside of cake pan with butter.
- Sift together flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder.
- Add baking soda, sugar, and salt to dry ingredients and mix well.
- Add chilled water, and stir, then add vegetable oil and blend until evenly distributed.
- Stir in vanilla extract, then add apple cider vinegar and mix.
- Pour batter into mold, and be sure to cover the top with aluminum foil.
- Bake for 20 minutes at 160C, then for 15 minutes at 150C.
- It is done when a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- While it is still hot, cover with a large bowl to retain heat until it cools to room temperature.
- Once completely cooled, remove from mold and wrap carefully to prevent it from drying.
- Store in the refrigerator overnight, then it's ready to decorate.
- Bake two of these sponge cakes to make a layered birthday cake.
- Spread maple syrup on top of the bottom layer, then whipped cream and strawberries.
- Next, place the top layer of sponge cake on top and coat with whipped cream, decorated with sliced strawberries and cut kiwi fruit.
- Please feel free to decorate as you like.
- You may use any kind of vinegar, such as grain vinegar or rice vinegar, but based on my experience, apple cider vinegar came out tasting the best.
- At first, when you add the vinegar, the smell is strong enough to make you wonder if it's really okay, but once it is baked, the smell disappears, so don't worry.
- Here it is as a Christmas cake decorated together in 2006.
- And again as a birthday cake in 2007.
- The sweetness is milder than regular sponge cakes, and was a hit.
