Vickys Chocolate Birthday Cake

• 170 grams brown rice flour
• 90 grams corn starch
• 90 grams potato starch (not flour)
• 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 300 grams granulated sugar
• 50 grams free-from butter/spread (I use Vitalite sunflower spread or gold foil Stork marg), melted
• 200 grams coconut yogurt (any plain or vanilla flavoured will do, I use Cocoyo brand)
• 3 tsp Vickys Best GF Egg Replacer mixed with water accordingly, linked below
• 160 ml coconut milk, vanilla flavoured is great
• 185 grams icing / powdered sugar
• 2 1/2 tbsp cocoa powder
• 100 grams dairy-free butter/spread
• 1 tbsp coconut milk

1. *Instead of my egg replacer you can use 2 normal eggs, 2 tbsp ground flax mixed with 6tbsp water until frothing or a commercial egg replacer.
2. With all of these you'll need to add into the dry ingredient bowl 1/2tsp xanthan gum.
3. My egg replacer already contains xanthan so that's why no amount listed in the ingredients
4. Preheat the oven to gas 5 / 170C / 375F and grease a 23cm or 25cm / 9 or 10inch springform cake tin
5. Mix the flours, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, salt and xanthan gum into a bowl, mixing very well to ensure that they are well combined
6. Whisk the sugar with the spread, milk, yoghurt and the mixed egg replacer.
7. Add to the dry ingredients and beat well
8. Pour the batter into the tin and bake for 30 - 35 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.
9. Leave in the tin for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and leave to cool completely
10. To make the chocolate frosting, put the icing sugar and cocoa powder into a bowl.
11. Add the spread and mix until well combined and fluffy.
12. Add the milk as needed to thin the mixture.
13. Spread evenly over the cooled cake
14. Don't double this recipe to make a layer cake, for some reason it doesn't work out as well.
15. Instead just mix a 2nd batch separately
