Vegan Blueberry Spice Cake

Vegan Blueberry Spice Cake

I needed to bake something yummy but didn't want to do a chocolate cake. I had blueberries in the freezer so thought ah let's try making a blueberry cake. And it turned out very well. And went down a treat with my non vegan friends! 

(Makes 1 cake) 

Ingredients:

300g flour (plain or gf)

1 tsp allspice

100g sugar 

1 tsp baking soda*

1 tbsp vinegar (apple or coconut)*

450ml water 

1 tbsp coconut oil (melt in microwave, pan or place a dish in the oven)!

100g frozen or fresh blueberries

Preheat oven to 160 degrees celsius. In a  bowl add the flour, sugar, allspice, and baking soda. Mix together then gradually add the vinegar and water, then the oil and blueberries. Place in a lined baking tin and bake for about 25-45 minutes until a knife comes out clean. Delicious!

*Top tip! You could replace the baking soda, vinegar and water for 400ml soda water.

This cake is incredible! I'd highly recommend it as I do all my recipes but this one in particular ;)

Lots of love,
