Expert Baking Tips

Although this easy vegan almond flour cake is super simple. Here are just a few expert tips i'd recommend:

• Ensure your milk is at room temperature before pouring it into the dry ingredients, this will help prevent any lumps and flour pockets from forming.
• Make sure to mix the milk and vinegar together prior to adding to the dry ingredients and let it sit for 5-10mins to slightly curdle. This will act as your vegan buttermilk
• I like to use caster sugar in my cakes which is just a very refined sugar. So if you can't find caster sugar I’d recommend using very refined granulated sugar.

Ingredients list for this vegan almond cake recipe

Gluten Free Plain Flour - this is paired with xanthan gum to give more stability to the cake as gluten free cakes tend to crumble.

Plant Based Milk - I like to use oat milk but soya or almond will work well too. I would however, not recommend using coconut milk as it tends to soak up the moisture in cakes, resulting in a dry dense sponge.

Apple Cider Vinegar - This reacts with the bicarbonate of soda to help the cake rise.

Apple Sauce - This adds moisture to the cupcakes are creates a spongy, airy texture.

Maple Syrup -  [AD] For this cake I used maple from canada which added a rich caramelised flavour to the sponge which paired beautifully with the almond.

The recipe for almond cupcakes

How to make almond cupcakes. Step by step instructions.

Step 1

To start, begin making the sponge. You’ll need to combine your plant based milk and vinegar together. This will be our vegan buttermilk. 

Step 2

Then in a separate bowl combine all the dry ingredients, this includes, sugar, almond flour, gluten free plain flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and bicarbonate of soda. We want to mix this together to ensure there's no lumps before adding the wet ingredients. 

Step 3

To the buttermilk mixture we are going to add in our oil, maple syrup and almond extract and give that a whisk. And then pour that into the dry ingredients. 

Finally pour this into your lined cupcake tin and bake that for 20 mins, you can tell the sponges are baked when they are slightly golden in color and are springy to the touch. 

Now it's time to make the decoration. 

Vegan jubilee cake toppers

This is really simple. First you want to get yourself just a handful of fondant icing and roll that out on your counter that's been dusted with icing sugar or you can roll it between  2 sheets of cling film/plastic wrap to prevent it from sticking.

Then with a rolling pin, roll out the icing until it's 2mm thick. Then with a cookie cutter [should be the same diameter as your cupcakes] you're going to cut out a circle for each cupcake and place it on top.

Now it's time for the crown and glory - the jubilee crown. This is so easy to make all you need is a crown mold and gold edible paint. I used this crown mold, but this is also good.

First melt your vegan white chocolate for 30sec intervals in a microwave and then pour into the mold. Set in the fridge for 10 mins. Pop it out of the mold carefully and paint with edible gold, using a clean cake decorating paint brush. I used this paint and brush.

Assembling the vegan jubilee cake decorations

It's now time to assemble. Once the cupcakes have cooled, place the fondant circles ontop of the cupcakes making sure its completely covered. And finally place the jubilee crown on top. You can secure this in place by brushing some vegan chocolate on the bottom of the crowns to stick it on.

Non-vegan alternative

If you don't want to make this cake vegan, simply substitute the plant based milk for regular whole milk and the vegan butter for normal block butter - at room temperature for the frosting.
