Ingredients

Scale
  • 480ml dairy-free milk
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 420g self-raising flour
  • 350g caster sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
  • 1 & 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 120ml sunflower oil
  • 100g pumpkin puree
  • 400g dairy-free block butter
  • 80g dairy-free cream cheese
  • 360g icing sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Orange food gel

  • Vegan caramel sauce – optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and prepare baking pans by greasing and lining them with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine dairy-free milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes. Then mix in sunflower oil and pumpkin puree until smooth.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together self-raising flour, caster sugar, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, and spices until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined; it's okay if there are a few lumps.
  5. Divide batter into prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
  6. For the frosting, beat together dairy-free butter and cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add icing sugar and stir in cinnamon.
  7. Once cooled, layer the cake with frosting as desired.
