CREAM & GLAZE

Instructions
 

SPONGE CAKE

  • Put flour, cacao powder, baking powder, almond meal, coconut sugar and egg substitute in a bowl and mix well.
  • Add the plant-based drink, agave syrup and melted coconut oil and mix well with a whisk or electric mixer.
  • Pour the mixture into a baking dish measuring 20 cm x 25 cm (8'" x 10 " ) and bake for 25 minutes at 180 °C (350 °F).
  • Place the cake on a cooling rack and allow it to cool down.

CREAM

  • In a large bowl, whip the chilled vegan whipping cream until it becomes firm.
  • Add the mascarpone and continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  • Finally, mix in the powdered sugar and whisk just until all the ingredients are well combined into a uniform cream.
  • Spread the cream evenly over the sponge cake, then arrange the orange slices on top.
  • Prepare the dressing by putting water, agave syrup and agar agar in a pot and bring to a boil.
  • Boil for 5 minutes, then set aside and allow to cool slightly (let it cool so that it is not too hot but does not get completely hard at the same time).
  • Slowly pour cooled topping over the cream and oranges and place in the fridge for it to harden completely.
