Necessary Ingredients for Vegan Strawberry Cake Recipe

Strawberry Frosting Ingredients

Time Required for Preparation

Vegan Strawberry Cake Recipe

1. Begin by preheating the oven to 180°C.
2. Sift the flour into a mixing bowl and combine with sugar, baking soda, and salt.
3. Prepare a flax egg by mixing 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed meal with 3 tablespoons of hot water. Let it sit for a minute to thicken.
4. Add strawberry puree, strawberry essence, olive oil, vinegar, flax egg, and food coloring to the mixture. Stir until well combined; the batter will be thick. Avoid over-mixing.
5. Grease two 7-inch cake pans and line them with parchment paper. Divide the batter equally between the pans and bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Allow the cakes to cool on a wire rack before frosting.
7. To prepare the frosting, combine powdered sugar, vegan butter, strawberry puree, and strawberry essence in the bowl of an electric mixer. Start at a low speed, gradually increasing until the mixture is thick and smooth. The frosting should be thick yet spreadable. Adjust the consistency by adding more powdered sugar if needed or a bit more strawberry puree if too thick.
8. Frost the cooled cakes and garnish with fresh strawberries before serving.

Tips:

1. Natural Food coloring: Enhance the color by mixing in minced fresh beets known for their vibrant hue.
2. For the Vegan Strawberry Cake recipe, you can create your own strawberry puree by blending fresh strawberries (cleaned and destemmed) in a food processor. I used an entire 400g pack of fresh strawberries to yield sufficient puree for both the cake and frosting. Any excess puree can be consumed or adjusted according to your preference.
