Ingredients
Scale
- 270ml aquafaba (chickpea brine)
- 18g cream of tartar
- 270g caster sugar
- 90ml sunflower oil
- 30g dairy-free vanilla yogurt
- 120g coconut cream
- 2 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 450g all-purpose flour
- 120g dairy-free butter
- 40g dairy-free cream cheese
- 350g icing sugar
- 2 tbsp aquafaba (chickpea brine)
- 1 jar strawberry jam
- 2 punnets fresh strawberries
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (fan) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
- Whisk aquafaba and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add half of the sugar and whip until stiff peaks form.
- In another bowl, mix oil, yogurt, coconut cream, remaining sugar, and vanilla. Fold in the meringue mixture and sift in flour and baking powder, folding it all together.
- Pipe the batter into 4-inch lines on the trays and bake for 10-15 minutes until golden. Let them cool.
- In a bowl, whip dairy-free butter and cream cheese until creamy. Add icing sugar, vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of aquafaba. Whip until fluffy and pale.
- Line a 6-inch cake tin. Pipe buttercream around the base and arrange ladyfingers upright. Dip ladyfingers in strawberry jam and layer in the tin, alternating with buttercream, jam, and fresh strawberries. Repeat until you reach the top.
- Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Before serving, decorate with fresh strawberries, dust with icing sugar, and tie a ribbon around the base. Slice and enjoy.
