Method
- Preheat oven to 180 C / Gas 4. Lightly grease 2 x 20cm round cake tins
- Sieve together the flour, sugar, bicarbonate of soda and salt. Add the oil, vanilla, vinegar and water. Mix together until smooth.
- Pour some of the mixture into prepared tin and bake at 180 C for 45 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Soak the sponge by pricking the surface with a fork and gently drizzling with elderflower cordial.
- Prepare cherries for decoration by brushing with gold dust (optional)
- Crush the freeze dried raspberries to soya custard to colour naturally.
- Make the buttercream by adding the icing sugar and baking spread to a mixing bowl and beat using your electric mixer, start at low speed, gradually increasing speed until perfectly smooth.
- Now it’s time to assemble your trifle! Gently place the layer of soaked sponge cake into the base of your trifle bowl.
- Add a layer of pink soya custard
- Top with a layer of Peach Slices & Tropical Fruit
- Repeat this pattern as many times as your bowl allows.
- Using a piping bag, pipe the top layer with the vegan buttercream with extra dabs piped in a circle around the edge of the trifle.
- Place your decorated cherries where you have piped your dabs and decorate with fresh berries and flowers (remove before eating!) or anything you like.
