Vegan sponge cake – basic recipe

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 225 g flour
• 175 g sugar
• 250 ml water
• 4 tsp baking powder
• 6 tbsp oil
• 1 packet of vanilla sugar
• 2 tbsp cocoa powder, for chocolate sponge cake
• Oil, for the mold

Instructions

Working time approx. 10 minutes; Total time approx. 10 minutes

e.g. for strawberry cakes, cake bases

Put all the ingredients for the dough in a large bowl and mix with a mixer until you have a smooth, airy dough. If you want to make a chocolate sponge cake, then also use the cocoa powder. Grease a springform pan with a little oil and preheat oven to 180°C. Pour the batter into the pan and put it in the oven. The dough should be baked after about 20-25 minutes. You can test it with a skewer or toothpick – poke it in and if no batter sticks, it’s done. Let the cake cool. It’s good as a cake base or the base for fruit cakes, e.g. strawberry cake. To make this, wash 400g of strawberries, slice/cut into pieces, arrange on top and pour over agar-agar as a cake glaze or melted chocolate coating.
