Raspberry coconut cake
Ingredients
- 170 grams caster sugar
- 175 grams vegan butter
- 3 tbsp ground flaxseed plus 6 tbsp water
- 225 grams self raising flour
- 70 grams desiccated coconut
- 2 tbsp cornflour
- 150 grams fresh raspberries
Topping
- 120 grams raspberry jam
- 2 tbsp desiccated coconut
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180•c and line a loaf tin with greaseproof paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together sugar and vegan butter using a wooden spoon or electric whisk. The mixture should be pale and fairly smooth.
- In a small mixing bowl, stir ground flaxseed with water to form a gel or flax 'egg'. Set aside to thicken for two minutes then mix into the creamed butter and sugar.
- Stir through the self raising flour, desiccated coconut and cornflour until fully combined. The mixture will be quite thick.
- Add raspberries to the bowl, reserving 5-6 for the topping if desired. Stir them through the mixture until evenly dispersed. It doesn't matter if they break up a little bit, this will create delicious ripples or raspberry in the cake.
- Pour the batter into prepared loaf tin and bake in the middle of the oven for 55 minutes, or until the top is firm and golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Spread raspberry jam over the top of the cooled cake and sprinkle with desiccated coconut. Top with a few fresh raspberries. Slice and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to four days.
