Ingredients (for 6 servings)

For the lemon sponge cake:

Dry:

• 80 g buckwheat flour
• 100 g oat flour (gluten-free)
• 100 g rice flour
• 60 g cornstarch
• 150 g of AlterNativa's panela3
• 12 g baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (unpasteurised)
• 1 pinch of salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder

Wet:

• 70 ml melted coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
• 300 ml soy beverage
• 125 g soy cream
• Zest of 1 lemon

For the "non-filling" of condensed milk:

• 580 ml soy beverage
• 200 g erythritol
• 150 ml agave syrup
• 50 g cornstarch
• 1 g turmeric
• 1 tablespoon vegetable margarine
• Juice of 3 lemons
• zest of 2 lemons

Decoration:

• 10 diced strawberries
• Strawberries for decoration
• Beetroot powder for decoration

Step by step

1. Preheat the oven to 180º.
2. Mix all the dry ingredients with a whisk and add the vinegar. Then mix again.
3. Then, in another bowl, mix the wet ingredients with the lemon zest. Using the whisk, gradually add the mixture to the dry ingredients.
4. Put the final mixture in the mould and bake it in the oven for 50 minutes or until it is ready. To do this, we use a stick: once it comes out dry, we can take it out of the oven.
5. Remove from the oven and wait for it to cool before unmoulding.
6. For the filling, put the soya drink, the sieved cornflour and the rest of the ingredients in a saucepan. Mix it all together and bring it to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly with the whisk. Remove from the heat and cover with cling film to prevent a crust from forming.
7. Finally, mix 500 g of the condensed lemon milk with the 10 diced strawberries. Put the sponge pieces in a glass, add the condensed lemon and strawberry milk, more strawberries and another layer of condensed milk. To finish, decorate with the beetroot powder and half a strawberry.
