Non-Egg Dairy-Free Chocolate Cake
- 100 grams Oatmeal
- 240 ml Non-flavored soy milk
- 60 grams Raw beet sugar (or regular white sugar)
- 1/3 tsp Natural salt
- 30 grams Walnuts
- 30 grams Raisins
- 2 tbsp Rum or other liquor
- 90 grams Cake flour
- 8 grams Baking powder (aluminium-free)
- 15 grams Unsweetened cocoa
- 2 batches Dairy-free Chocolate Cream
- 1 Walnuts
- Line the cake tin with baking paper.
- Roughly chop the raisins and flavour with the rum.
- Roast the walnuts in a oven toaster for 5 minutes and roughly chop.
- Pulverize the oatmeal in a food processor.
- Fill the steamer with water and set over heat.
- Put the soy milk, sugar, salt, raisins, walnuts, and oatmeal in a bowl and mix well to allow the oatmeal to absorb the liquid ingredients.
- Sift in the ingredients marked with and, using a rubber spatula, fold the mixture together until it's no longer powdery and has an even texture.
- Pour the mixture into the cake tin.
- Make a slight dent in the center of the mixture using a spatula.
- Once the steam starts rising from the steamer, place the cake tin inside and steam on high heat for 30 minutes.
- Test to see if the cake is done by inserting a skewer into the center.
- If it comes out clean, it's ready.
- This completes the fluffy sponge.
- Once cooked, remove the sponge from the tin and leave to cool.
- Slice away any parts of the top of the cake which have expanded too much (you can use these slices for taste testing ), then slice the cake into 2 layers.
- I recommend using a wet knife for easy cutting.
- Once the sponge has completely cooled, decorate with the dairy-free chocolate cream.
- To decorate: Spread the chocolate cream over the top of one layer of sponge, then sandwich the other layer on top of that.
- Spread cream over the top of the cake and even it out with a spatula.
- Lift the cream, a dollop at a time, over the sides of the cake, then evenly spread it all the way around.
- Use the leftover cream to fill in any gaps and smooth everything out with a fork or spatula.
- Decorate with walnuts to finish.
- When cutting to cake, it's easiest to use a wet knife.
- Clean the knife after each cut to get a nice, neatly sliced cake.
