Plant-based ginger tea cakes!
This recipe is so simple and the cakes are absolutely delicious!! I experimented with a cashew cream for the frosting and it was perfect for this cake. I hope you enjoy :)
In the dry ingredients bowl:
1.5 cups plain all-purpose flour
½ cup granulated coconut sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ginger
½ teaspoon nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground cloves (3-4 cloves ground)
In the wet ingredients bowl:
½ cup coconut syrup
½ cup plant milk, I usually use soy or almond
⅓ cup coconut oil
2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
Whisk the dry ingredients, whisk the wet ingredients and then combine in the larger bowl.. Mix until a smooth consistency then add to cupcake tin. Bake in moderate oven (180-200 degrees C) for 30 minutes. Check tops of cakes, if they bounce back or skewer comes out clean, they are ready!!
Cool on a wire and prepare the frosting!!
