Purple Elephant's Vegan Summer Fruit Shortcake
As promised;
Adapted from this.
3 cups flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 cup margarine
1 1/2 cups plain soya yogurt
1/3 cup orange juice
1/2 tsp vanilla essence.
A packet of vegan custard (or if you are not a cheat like me make it yourself nice and thick and allow it to cool) I use the Provamel stuff.
Strawberries, raspberries whatever you want to put on top.
In a bowl, place flour, sugar, baking powder and salt, and stir well to combine.
Cut in the marg until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
In a small bowl stir the remaining ingredients together.(Except the custard and the fruit of course!)
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir well to combine.
Grease two Victoria sandwich cake tins and squidge the mixture into each.
Shove in oven for about 20 mins on gas mark 6 until they are nicely browned.
When they are done get them out of the tin and allow to cool.
Now for the fun bit: (and I must admit I waited until the picnic to do this bit)
Slap the two cakes together with a generous squidge of custard in the middle. Then splodge a load of custard on the top and decorate with your fruit.
Serve chilled with even more custard and some vegan cream (I use Provamel Soya Dream and no they are not paying me to say all this but if they are offering?..)
