Vegan Lamingtons

These Vegan Lamingtons are a delightful twist on the classic kiwi favourite.

Ingredients

Vegan Sponge
1 and 2/3 cup self raising flour
4 tsp baking powder
1 cup soy milk
2 tsp apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup plain oil
1 cup sugar

Raspberry Icing
2 cups icing sugar
1/4 cup plant milk
2 tbsp vegan butter
1 tbsp coconut oil
A few drops red food colouring
2 tbsp raspberry powder

Fine coconut for coating
Optional raspberry jam for serving

Method

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius.

In a mixing bowl, sift flour and baking powder, then combine. In another bowl, mix soy milk, apple cider vinegar, oil, and sugar (blitz in a blender for a smoother mix). Pour wet ingredients into the dry mixture, combine, and transfer to a lined square or rectangular baking pan (about 20cmx20cm). Bake for 30-40 minutes until a knife comes out clean; let it cool before cutting into squares.

For the raspberry icing, melt butter and coconut oil, then add remaining ingredients for a smooth liquid. Let it cool slightly to thicken. In a separate bowl, place fine coconut. Dip each sponge square into the raspberry icing using tongs, remove excess icing, then coat in coconut. Repeat until all lamingtons are coated. Let them set in the fridge for about an hour before indulging in the goodness!
