INGREDIENT NOTES:
GRANULATED SUGAR:
- Granulated sugar is an important ingredient in cloud cake that gives it its shape. It will also make your dessert sweeter. Use coconut sugar if you need another choice.
AQUAFABA:
- This is the chickpea liquid that will help your cake get a fluffy texture. We will use this instead of the egg whites for your vegan dessert recipe. You may add a flax egg as an alternative as well.
BAKING SODA AND BAKING POWDER:
- These will also help make your cloud cake fluffy. Your cake will rise from adding both of them as well.
UNSWEETENED ALMOND MILK:
- Milk is useful in your cake because it will make it moist. You may use cashew milk (unsweetened) or oat milk (unsweetened) for this purpose if you prefer.
VEGETABLE OIL:
- Oil will make your vegan cloud cake softer. Here, we will use vegetable oil for this recipe, but you can use canola or sunflower oil as well.
ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR:
- You will sift this flour so it gets lighter to add to your dessert. Utilize all-purpose flour to prepare the shape of your vegan cloud cake. Another choice for your cake can be whole wheat flour.
VANILLA EXTRACT:
- We will add vanilla extract so your dessert gets a sweet flavor. Also, you may use maple extract or almond extract for this purpose.
SALT:
- You will use salt in your cake because it will boost the flavor of your vegan dessert.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Warm the oven to 175°C and add some oil to your pan to make it oily.
- Then add baking paper to it.
- Use a bowl to sift the dry ingredients for the cake.
- Then use another to mix vinegar, vanilla, oil, and vegan milk to rest for 2 minutes.
- Next, take your aquafaba and whip it for 4 minutes so you make a soft peak in it.
- Then, combine both the blends so you fold the mixture carefully.
- Now add half the amount of whipped aquafaba to fold carefully.
- Next, add the other half to do the same as well.
- Add this batter to the cake pan and make the top of it smoother.
