Base dairy free Cake Recipe
Been a great week baking. The guys at the Express group loved there scones, Bev loved her Lemon Soda Cake and my giant cookie was a hit at The Pantry today. It's great having willing taste tester, especially when you can't try the baked treat yourself.
Highlight of my day was piping butter cream , for the first time ever onto some fairy cakes I baked at the Pantry. Did a pretty good job, surprised myself!! Which meant a happy dance was necessary whoop whoop.
The only downside was AGAIN i couldn't have one..... I remembered I'd posted a basic biscuit/cookie recipe and thought I should post a base dairy free cake recipe to go with it. Iv done some more work on my Lemon Soda Cake recipe and think it's a great base dairy free cake.
Works cooked as both a large cake and as a batch of Cup cakes. All you need to do is reduce the baking time.
