Royal Wedding Vegan Sponge Cakes I Easy and Fluffy mini Cakes

This post is also available in: EnglishFrançais

I am not a big follower of the Royal Family but I must admit that the Royal Wedding coming up this Saturday got me all excited, and so to celebrate my way I have made some Royal Wedding Vegan Sponge Cakes ! They are the perfect little sponges, very fluffy as you would expect for a sponge cake and very very …  very easy!

I want to emphasize the fact that these Royal Wedding Vegan Sponge Cakes are very easy to make.  Vegan cakes are often perceived as being complicated, not so much in the making but mainly because of the ingredients that go into it. I understand that not everybody has in its cupboard some chia seeds, flaxseeds, xantham gum, etc. which is why I wanted to create a recipe that would not require any of that.

All you need for these vegan sponge cakes is :

• flour
• cane sugar (or white sugar, although I never use it because it is not unrefined)
• dairy-free milk
• rapeseed oil (or any other oil of your choice)
• baking soda
• cider vinegar
• vanilla

Royal Wedding Vegan Sponge Cakes

To give my Royal Wedding Vegan Sponge Cakes a more Victoria Sponge Cake look, I have added some homemade strawberry marmelade to the batter.

The Frosting

The frosting is optional, I will give you the recipe right here, right now !

• Beat ( with a whisk or with an electric mixer) 180 gr of vegan butter (also called margarine) with 80 gr of powdered sugar (to do so I grind the cane sugar into my spice grinder until finely ground). This takes about 5 minutes, then I add 1 tbsp. of vanilla extract, and combine. I leave it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

Et voila 🙂

I hope you try and like these Royal Wedding Vegan Sponge Cakes, if so let me know! Share on Pinterest and tag a photo on Instagram #mimies_delicacies so that I can see your lovely creations as well as helping me reach more of you lovely people. Merci my friends!
