Vegan Layered Pint Cake
INGREDIENTS
Vegan Chocolate Cake:• 1 1⁄4 cups flour
• 3⁄4 cups granulated sugar • 2 tablespoons cocoa
• 1⁄2 teaspoons sea salt
• 3⁄4 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 tablespoons cider or white vinegar • 1⁄4 cups vegetable or coconut oil • 3⁄4 cups cold water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
For the Layered Pint:
• 1 pint of Ben &Jerry's Non-Dairy Coconutterly Caramel'd (or your other non-Dairy flavourite) • 2 empty, clean ice cream cups
• 1 vegan cake in a 9 pie tin "x 13" inches (22.86 cm x 33.02 cm):use the vegan vanilla or chocolate cake recipe)
Step 1:
Choose one of the options:vanilla or chocolate cake. Preheat the oven to 175°C and prepare the
9" x 13" (22.86 cm x 33.02 cm) cake tin by lining with a piece of parchment paper and spraying with cooking spray.
Sieve all dry ingredients into a large bowl. Mix and stir all wet ingredients in a medium bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix on medium speed with a mixer or by hand for 2 minutes. Pour the batter into the
cake pan and bake for 15-18 minutes or until the top springs back when lightly touched. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely before slicing.
Step 2: Carefully cut the Non-Dairy pint in half from top to bottom, cutting through the lid. Remove the ice cream from the half pint, but keep the ice cream in the same shape. Cut the ice cream into 3 slices. Then rinse the packaging and dry it.
Step 3:
Use a knife to cut 3 slices of cake and set them aside. Let your discs vary in size.
Step 4:
Place a small slice of the cake in the bottom of each pint. Then add a layer of Non-Dairy
ice cream. Followed by the medium cake slice, a layer of Non-Dairy ice cream, a large cake slice and finally the top with another layer of Non-Dairy ice cream. Freeze your pastry layers for at least an hour.
Step 5:
When you are ready to eat, take it out of the freezer. To complete your cake, you can choose to add some delicious toppings. Dig in &enjoy!
