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
- Preheat the oven to 180º.
- Mix all the dry ingredients with a whisk and add the vinegar. Then mix again.
- Then, in another bowl, mix the wet ingredients with the lemon zest. Using the whisk, gradually add the mixture to the dry ingredients.
- 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.
- Remove from the oven and wait for it to cool before unmoulding.
- 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.
- 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.
